BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

bombersflyup While I found Shattered Glass aggravating, it was incredibly engrossing and I loved it.The reason I found it aggravating is that Stephen Glass is quite an annoying individual and I can't really accept that someone didn't call BS every time he spoke. Being based on true events, the stories told in the film must have been vastly over the top compared to anything that really happened for any of it to work. Peter Sarsgaard and Steve Zahn were terrific and Christensen must have done a great job playing the role, because I hated the character and wanted to witness his demise. Chloe Sevigny on the hand is horrible here and in every film she has ever been in! Then there is Chad Donella who commanded the screen in the great episode "Hungry" from the X-Files, playing another minor role in a film instead of being the star.

SnoopyStyle Stephen Glass (Hayden Christensen) is a young ace reporter for The New Republic. The magazine is heralded as the inflight magazine of Air Force One. Glass is personable and his stories are fabulously enticing. He expertly weaves his fables with panache. Chuck Lane (Peter Sarsgaard) is originally a reporter, but then gets elevated to editor. Chuck is the exact opposite of Glass. He is reserved, and stickler for the work. As a reporter, he struggles to keep up with Glass's flashier stories. As an editor, nobody trusts him. When Glass's article on computer hackers is questioned by an online publication, things spin out of control.The true story is shocking. And the movie portrays it with realism. This is probably Hayden's greatest performance. He has the boyish charm that makes all those lies believable. But he also has a twitchy quality about him. It's also believable that he made up all those lies. This is infinitely better than the Star Wars debacle. Peter Sarsgaard has that quiet intensity that is perfect for his role.The only thing I didn't like was the older lady at the end when she says that if only they had pictures.... That's not necessarily any solution. Pictures can be doctored just as easily. And pictures can distract any fact checkers. I don't know if somebody actually said that in real life. But it's one line that I'd rather cut out.I think it's too bad that Hayden Christensen will always have the Star Wars movies hanging over him. It overshadows some good work in this movie. He needs to find these types of roles that can challenge his acting skills.

kendrej17 This movie was not only a suspenseful and exilerating movie, but was a true documented story about a man's life. The movie began with a slow ongoing feel about an average person trying to move up in the world. This person was a young man in his early 20's who works for the well known magazine called the NEW REPUBLIC. The New Republic is not only a very established magaizine but is also highly professional, and completely excludes non-fiction based information. With this being said, this young man named Stephen Glass, (the last name also hinting around the title of the movie SHATTERED GLASS) has been known to write very entertaining stories. through-out the movie the viewers get to experience the young man's life beginning to "shatter" when they find out mostly all of his stories were completely, if not somewhat, false. The movie allows for readers to feel sympathetic and not feel sympathetic for main character all in 94 min.

danielle davis Shattered Glass, the true story of Steven Glass, was an OK movie. It didn't really put me to the edge of my seat, but I wasn't so bored to the point that I found myself scrolling through Facebook rather than paying attention. The movie shows good examples on how lying screws people over in the long run. Steven Glass is a good example of a pathological liar, and how sometimes starting off with one lie has to lead to a lot more than expected. Steven Glass, a writer for The New Republic, sat there and wrote multiple articles about people that didn't exist, a company that didn't exist, and places that didn't exist. Steven did this multiple times and got away with it until his original editor got fired and one of his coworkers stepped up to take the position. The new editor was obviously more dedicated to this job than the previous one because it did not take him long to figure out that Steven's piece Hack Heaven was completely fabricated. Later on, this new editor figures out that 27 out of his 44 pieces were partially, if not completely, fabricated. All in all, this movie was just OK. There were no parts in this movie that made me really ponder what was going to happen next. Shattered Glass was very predictable and quite frankly I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that didn't feel like getting ticked off about the whole scenario.
