Remember Billy Ray? (No, no, not Jimmy Ray, he's still working hard on a comeback with his buddy Vanilla Ice and his other one-hit wonder pals).
Billy Ray is the writer-director of the surprisingly good "Shattered Glass." Here's a better introduction: He's the guy who managed to get that turnip Hayden Christensen to act.
"
Breach" is his new movie, and the story's very interesting. I've heard an interview in which Ray was asked why he chose to do another movie about deception. His answer (I paraphrase from memory): "I'm always interested in duplicity...its easy to write a screenplay about liars because the audience knows there's subtext to everything the character says or does."
Chris Cooper plays a sexual deviant and the most high-profile Russian spy in American who was brought down by his rookie partner, our very own Ryan Phillippe. And there’s also Laura Linney who some of us here want to fuck in the ass. But, I digress…
