Movie propaganda
Read between the lies.
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's 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. Shattered glass is a study of a very talented - and at the same time very flawed - character. It is also a look inside our culture's noblest profession, one that protects our most precious freedoms by revealing the truth and what happens when our trust in that profession is called into question.

Theatrical report
Shattered glass is Hayden Christensen's first film foray after hitting the big time with the Star wars prequel trilogy and it's a reasonable choice. He's a dramatic actor (see also Life as a house) so this marks a return to his roots. It's good. He's good. And thank god it's not a teen romantic comedy.
