Ooh! For those in the UK, "Shattered Glass" is on iPlayer.

Wanted to see this for ages, as it's the only other major role Hayden Christensen ever got. Must have been hard for a new young actor to star in two of the last decades' biggest films, then the phone never rings again (Feel bad for him).

Heard he was outstanding in it... let's find out.


*cough* Awake (2008) *cough*


I remember that movie. Hayden was actually pretty decent in that one - he only gave one line of dialogue I found cringeworthy. The plot kinda floundered halfway through the movie, though, and the supernatural aspect to the plot felt shoehorned in.

 

Yes as you've all pointed out ^ I was talking sh*t, he's done a few films since. But my general point is still true, Hayden career hasn't been exactly on fire.

I'm sure he's a great actor, but Lucas is a bad director of actors (At least of late). Portman, McGregor, Jackson and even Neeson all give career low performances in the PT. But unlike those guys, with Hayden you couldn't point to 'Leon', 'Trainspotting', 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Schindler's List' to prove it.
