This is one really awesome journalism movie base on the true story. Staring Hayden Christensen as Stephen Glass, a hotshot reporter working for one of the most respected magazine The New Republic cause a stir among the news world as he was caught that most of his story are fictional.
The balance of the substance with a great story and dialogue is the highlight part of this movie - And that what make this movie so pleasurable to watch. The flow of the movie is just right (compare to most journalism this is great) cause it does feel like drag on and on.
Another thing that can't be denied is the cast of all the talented actors and they all work together so well especially Hayden and Peter, they were splendid. Nevertheless I wish the writer could elaborate the other characters a lot more because some of the character were there having a number of parts but didn't do anything (like for Rosario and Melanie).
Overall the movie is quite stunning at least for the first time viewer. Sadly to say but despite the movie be pretty good there are hardly stuff to hold on to and therefore quite easy to forget.
Reason To Watch: accurate events, strong acting and dialogues.
Reason Not To: Not so memorable.
Recommendation: Yes, worth a rental.
Rating: 7/10 (Grade: B-)
