Glass Chin is a 2014 American crime drama film written and directed by Noah Buschel, starring Corey Stoll, Billy Crudup, Marin Ireland, Yul Vazquez and Kelly Lynch.

Bud Gordon (Corey Stoll), a burned-out former boxing champ, lives with his girlfriend Ellen Doyle (Marin Ireland).

[1][2] Shortly after Corey Stoll finished filming the first season of House of Cards, Noah Buschel recruited him to play the lead role in Glass Chin.

[4] Buschel categorizes the film "in the ex-boxer genre of Budd Schulberg's On The Waterfront, Jim Thompson's After Dark, My Sweet, and Walter Mosley's Leonid McGill books.

The Los Angeles Times said the film is fueled by "punchy dialogue, sharply drawn characters and excellent performances," and that Buschel's directing gives it "a distinct place in the often derivative world of neo-noir.

"[14] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "For all its impressive formal rigor, this modern-day noir fails to connect on an emotional level.

"[13] Peter Debruge of Variety wrote, "Between Buschel's script and Stoll's performance, Glass Chin finds fresh humanity in a seemingly exhausted genre.

"[21] Frank Lovece of Film Journal International wrote, "It's surely no coincidence, given the interest that Bud's Jersey-girl girlfriend Ellen (Marin Ireland) takes in Zen teachings.

Like a West-of-Hudson Abel Ferrara, whose silver-blue King of New York color scheme infuses this film's Manhattan, Buschel explores the lies we tell ourselves about being an honorable man in a dishonorable world.
