Anecdotes:

In the hallway, we constantly see a poster with names and pictures of spies that have been caught, as well as short narratives of what their crimes were and how much time they're serving. These posters really exist in secure government facilities, and prominently displayed on all of them, since the events of this movie took place, is a photo of Robert Hanssen.

Goofs:

Erreurs factuelles: When Hanssen is instructing Garces on what's required for the new system, he requests an "OC-48 (connection) with a data rate of 2.488megabits (per second)". An OC-48 connection, in-fact, has capacity for 2488 megabits per second. In addition, anybody in the IT field would never refer to it this way: they would state something along the lines of, "Two and a half gigabits per second" not "Two point four eight eight"

Guillemet:

Eric O'Neill: Is it worth it? Being an agent.
Kate Burroughs: Ask me when we've caught him.

Academy Award Caliber Performances

Chris Cooper, already an established actor, gives the performance of a lifetime as Robert Hansen, the FBI agent arrested for 25 years of espionage against the United States. Cooper convincingly portrays the smugness, cockiness, and "holier than thou" attitude which eventually (in my eyes) led to Hansen's downfall.

The movie is tense and moves swiftly without compromising the story line. Ryan Phillipe is equally impressive as the young FBI employee who is brought on to earn Hansen's trust and find out what made him tick.

This is a must-see - I saw it with about 100 people ... and from what I heard, almost everyone was still talking about it afterward as they walked out and in the bathrooms - and all were great comments.

Definitely an early Oscar contender for 2008 in my opinion.
