What do people think of this film? I thought that for a a very interesting story, it made for an oddly un-dramatic film. It's never made clear exactly why people behave the way they do (why Glass did what he did, why his colleagues were so resistent to believe it was true, why the rival magazine went to such lengths to expose the truth). I think this was deliberate on the part of the director. He's saying these are simply the facts, I'm not going to speculate on their motivations, but it presents more questions than answers, and not in a good way. Hayden Christiansen is good enough in the lead role, but still seems wooden, even given the nature of his character. The supporting actors Peter Sarsgaard and Chloe Sevigny are excellent, portraying the editor who's prepared to accept walkouts and hatred from his staff if it means exposing Glass, and the fellow journo who steadfastly refuses to believe her editor and insists Glass neeRAB help, not punishment.
