Summary: 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.
An interesting yet not very engaging movie. The periodistic, factual (and as flawed as the character) approach to the story makes a great meta-message. It's a well thought tight movie with a good performance by the cast.
Very interesting topic, though the manner in which it's told is a bit lacking. I was distracted by the hopscotch chronology, but in the end the film calms down and really draws you in. Recommended for drama fans and those like me who are sticklers for veracity in the media. Answers to KGB's questions: Everyone was not proud of him--he imagined the applause. He fooled people by being very humble and being their best friend, knowing their every taste. I knew someone like him once; they do exist.
Felt a little slow to start, but as the film moved into the main point of the story, it became very tense and intriguing. Another sort of so-so, whiny performance from Hayden, but amazing supporting turn from Sarsgaard. You can really see the disbelief, disappointment, and subsequent rage on his face as the lies unravel.
It's not flashy, but it is riveting nonetheless, making Shattered Glass on of the finest, and most overlooked, features of 2003. Highly recommended. [Full Review]
