Ghost Rider and Breach: Exact Opposites



** Stars
Ghost Rider is a bloated $120 million film that is so cheesy, you won't be checking your watch, you'll just sigh about forty-six times. Nicholas Cage and the cast have a lot of fun, but this is definitely a cliched comic book adaptation that turns ugly the minute Ghost Rider appears.


***1/2 Stars
Breach deserves to be released in the later half of 2007 so Chris Cooper will be remembered for his brilliant portrayal of Robert Hanssen who has been selling American secrets to the Soviet Union for years. Eric O'Neill (Ryan Phillippe) is promoted to the job that will stage Hanssen's inevitable downfall. You do not want to miss this one.
