It is just implausible to believe Phillipe could ever pass the FBI entrance exam, much less outsmart the guy who outsmarted the entire bureau for two decades. The weak link in the film is Ryan Phillipe, who just doesn't possess the acting chops to pull off the pivotal role of Eric O'Neill - the agent wannabe who gets thrust into the crucial position of bringing Hanssen down. Caroline Dhavernas is an actress I am not familiar with, but her performance here has me intrigued. Gary Cole plays it straight here, and Kathleen Quinlan (as Hanssen's wife) and Bruce Davison (as Eric O'Neill's dad) have brief but effective turns. Laura Linney is slightly miscast as the agent in charge of bringing Hanssen down. He appears to be just another working stiff pulling in a paycheck. yes, his job was to find himself!! Cooper is very strong here as the ego-maniacal tortured soul who pulls off his deceit with a disarming devotion to religion, the bureau and blending. In an almost unbelievable stroke of luck, Hanssen was put in charge of finding the mole. Perfect casting has Chris Cooper as the very odd Hanssen who has nearly 25 years with the bureau, many of which have been spent selling off national secrets to the Soviet Union. Normally we only get these type of scenarios in LeCarre novels, but the story of FBI agent Robert Hanssen is a real life nightmare. a federal agent who sells out his own country. Here he takes on one of our biggest fears. Writer/Director Billy Ray was the creative force behind "Shattered Glass" a few years ago and obviously is drawn to true stories of human deception. It is projected to cost $200 million and take three years to complete.Greetings again from the darkness. The multistage spillway modification project will increase the reliability of the spillway and improve the stability of slopes located along or near the spillway. These economic impacts would significantly affect local livelihoods. Potential property damage resulting from a failure of Pipestem Dam is estimated at more than $450 million, not including the potential loss of an additional $2 million annually in other dam and reservoir benefits such as recreation, water supply, and hydropower. The failure of Pipestem Dam would result in catastrophic impacts to communities, including Jamestown, just a few miles downstream. While the reservoir behind Pipestem Dam has never been high enough to require spillway flow, Omaha District is now acting to improve the reliability of the spillway before it is needed, and in support of the Dam Safety Program’s highest priority: life safety. Engineers determined that the spillway could progressively erode under extreme flood conditions, presenting the risk of a dam breach and the uncontrolled release of water from the reservoir. But a multi-disciplinary team across USACE found that the geologic conditions under the Pipestem spillway is comprised of the same highly erodible soils as Cottonwood Creek Dam at a depth of more than 100 feet. This is known as a non-breach release that keeps pressure off the dam. Pipestem Dam’s spillway is designed to pass up to 110,000 cubic feet of water per second if water gets high in the reservoir under extreme conditions. This highlighted the potential for similar erosion of Pipestem Dam’s spillway due to its similar underlying geology. Two years later in 2009, the Cottonwood Creek Dam, located just 50 miles southeast of Pipestem Dam, experienced severe spillway erosion and risked dam failure from flooding. The study was part of a nation-wide effort directed by USACE to understand potential risks from flooding and to reduce these risks to public, property, and the environment. Pipestem Dam was evaluated in 2007 and classified as a moderate urgency dam following detailed engineering analyses conducted by the USACE Omaha District’s Dam Safety Program. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, in partnership with the prime contractor, Barnard Construction Company, held a groundbreaking ceremony for a large-scale spillway project at Pipestem Dam in Jamestown, North Dakota.
