Reviews
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Monique One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
fmwongmd I get so many robo calls I'm not sure what the big deal is about privacy. I'm resigned to being surveilled backwards and forwards anyway. No foul, no harm. Acting and filming very good especially Joseph and Shailene.
DylanMcChillin The movie was well done. The only criticism I have is that Stone seems to think he was a hero, which he wasn't. Very little has changed since he whistle blew. If he wanted to change things, he should've stayed and did so from the inside. Also, the real Snowden and his girlfriend are infinitely more awkward and odd in real life than shown in the movie.
mpaulso Pretty decent movie. Somehow missed this one the last few years but figured I would give it a try when I saw it on HBO.It's interesting seeing Snowden's background. It was also really creepy to see the example of the technology that the NSA was using to spy on American's and those abroad. I had previously watched Citizenfour so I had known about the meeting in Hong Kong and about the leak of information.. However I will say he definitely was glamorized and made to look like the victim in this movie. It was made to be seen from his side.
Tomus7 For a controversial subject like Snowden it is important that the movie be at least moderately accurate. This movie will probably be how many viewers form their basic understanding of what happened - and that would be a great shame. If you want to know the real story, check out Citizenfour which is a documentary and makes an attempt to be honest.
