"Shattered Glass"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This is the fascinating story of Stephen Glass (hayden Christianson), a young hot shot journalist for the hallowed "The New Republic" magazine. After a series of lead articles that further enhances the magazine's reputaion, the editor of the online version of Forbes mahazine calls Glass' editor Chuck Lane (Peter Sarsgaard) and questions certain facts in the latest piece. Glass vociferously defends his facts and notes, but over time as Forbes relentlessly looks into the background of the piece it becomes apparent that it was fabricated, at first only parts of it but then the entire article.
Lane wishaving a tough time because he had been cosen to replace the legendary Michael kelly and the staff supports Glass and dislikes Lane. The entire film is absorbing, but the last third, where Glass' career is collapsing around him and he STILL refuses to admit any wrongdoing, is spellbinding. At times you want to shout out at him onscreen to just ADMIT IT. The film is deadicated to the late Kelly. Highly recommended.
