So many movies today are nothing more than face value thrill rides with clearly defined heroes and villains, which I definitely enjoy, but a movie like this has so much value under the surface, that it will have me back in the theaters paying to see it again!

My best advice is to read as little as possible so that you can go into this film with a fresh perspective. I promise you that it will be a rewarding film experience that will have you talking the next day.

Movie Grade: A

Synopsis:

Shattered Glass stars Hayden Christensen as Stephen Glass, a staff writer for the respected current events and policy magazine The New Republic and a freelance feature writer for publications such as Rolling Stone, Harper's and George. By the mid-90s, Glass' articles had turned him into one of the most sought-after young journalists in Washington, but a bizarre chain of events - chronicled in Buzz Bissinger's September, 1998 Vanity Fair article upon which "Shattered Glass" is based - suddenly stopped his career in its tracks.
