rico,

I'm a big fan of "Shattered Glass" as the characters alm,os all seemed three-dimensional- no one was perfect or entirely a villian.

This movie remids me of one with a similar -and true- theme, "Rogue Trader" (1999) in which Ewan MacGregor plays a English commodities trader in Asia that famously brought down one of the oldest banks in the UK by hiding losses. Just as in "Shattered" the scheme starts innocently and then escalates out of control. And while he's losing $100s of Millions, he's prized as an ascending star!

Yes, by all means see "Shattered Glass", but then follow it with "Rogue Trader" for further scenes of well-written, well-acted career implosion!

Cheers,

Bambi B
