Continuity mistake: The "Power Play" scene when Eric and Hanssen are in the car after a cancelled meeting (13). With Eric's line, "There's construction on E Street," the Kennedy Center appears behind his head, but in the next shot of him ("Sir, I'm SSG.,") the Kennedy Center shows up again, this time farther ahead of the car. (01:05:55)
Breach (2007)
Directed by: Billy Ray
Starring: Laura Linney, Ryan Phillippe, Chris Cooper, Dennis Haysbert, Caroline Dhavernas
Factual error: The route that Hanssen discusses with O'Neil on their way back to the FBI headquarters, from the DIA, is not geographically correct and would not get them from point A to point B.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mr/Mrs Hanssen & Mr/Mrs O'Neil are all sitting own to have dinner together, directly after Eric being read in, Mrs Hanssen picks up all of the napkins to distribute them. In the next shot it shows one of the napkins back where she picked them up from, as if it was never picked up. In the following shot, it shows the same napkin laying vertically instead of horizontally.
Robert Hanssen: Do you pray the Rosary every day?
Eric O'Neill: Not every day Sir, no.
Robert Hanssen: You should.
Eric O'Neill: I had all these answers for her. 'He's misunderstood.' 'He's trying to fix the bureau and no one will listen.' 'He was born in the wrong century.' 'His father's a jerk.' I got a whole list. But you know something Sir, at the end of the day it's all crap. You ARE who you are. The why doesn't mean a thing does it? does IT?
Robert Hanssen: I... matter... plenty.
Kate Burroughs: That was the worst spy in American history you brought down, and you're just going to walk away.
Eric O'Neill: Can you think of a better time to walk away?
Kate Burroughs: Nope.
