A well-rounded, but still limited, B-movie actioner
Added 3/24/1999
Michael Biehn stars as a low-level criminal who unintentionally gets caught up in a high-level struggle to control a drug cartel. At the center of this struggle is a CD-ROM that holds all the cartel's dirty secrets. Further complicating this scenario is a female FBI agent who's not shy at playing all the angles to get the CD-ROM so the FBI can prosecute the cartel, sometimes at Biehn's expense.This is a very decent B-movie, despite the budget limitations. While it does get cliched at the end, the movie never lets you rest until the final confrontation between Biehn, the FBI, and the drug cartel.

You'll be surprised. (Not bad, not bad at all).

While the title alone is likely to discourage you, "Breach of Trust" was a decent movie, all things considered. Admittedly, the plot was borderline 'been there, done that,' but director Charles Wilkinson did a remarkably extraordinary job of executing an otherwise mediocre film. The action was explosive and challenging, and Michael Biehn did a remarkable job portraying Casey, the equivocal 'good guy caught up with a bad crowd' who you just can't help loving. And while the brute stereotypes and ethnic crime-syndicate characters were overdone in their entirety, they accomplished the sometimes difficult task of intimidating the good guys. "Breach of Trust" is worth an open-minded look, so long as you're not adverse to weak, faltering dialogue.
