Breach (2007)

The current highlighted imdb review is correct -- the pacing of this film is slow, and it's more of a drama than the action flick many might expect. Still Chris Cooper is pretty good as the uncharismatic and unappreciated traitor Robert Hansen. Ryan Phillippe plays the young agent clerk to Hansen, actually put there by the FBI to spy on Hansen. Phillippe relies heavily on his good looks, but as an actor, he's rather one-dimensional. His acting at play-acting anger at Hansen's constant suspicion of him even rings as artificial. He does serious or ironic looks okay though.

But actually Phillippe was not bad as a gay teen many years back on One Life to Live as reported by OhLaLaBlog.
