One of the rare "Based on a true story" movies that is actually quite accurate in it's depiction. I was worried that it might "Hollywood" up the story to gain more widespread appeal but it didn't. If you have seen Citizen Four then the general idea of the movie will be familiar, however it runs Godfather 2 style flashbacks to give more details about how everything came to be and a more personal look into Snowden's life. Which was the only thing I missed from Citizen Four, so I'm glad they chose this was to tell the story. Acting is fantastic all around and Joseph Gordon-Levitt absolutely nailed his role. I also liked that they didn't try to over-villainise anyone (except for one occasion that was a bit over the top) and more focused on that it was just a system that was out of control, with people just "following orders".

Having just watched the film, I gotta say: if this doesn't make you disgusted with how our government has treated not only its own people but other countries' civilians, then nothing will. Just a note: Republican or Democrat, both parties contributed to this surveillance disaster! I'll end the rant by saying this movie is good, and the ending was incredible, but has a lot of slow parts. With that, the only fair way to end this: Pardon Snowden Already, Obama.

Why the f*** is this getting 49% from 9 votes only when it's not even out yet. C'mon bitches, be real, the trailer is awesome.

This movie has been hit so hard by US critics, not because the film itself but because they still don't want to believe what the film reveals (Snowden actually) about their own country and establishment.

People tend to behave like and ostrich when they reality is to tough to swallow: If you More

**He who became a people's hero by betraying his own nation!**

I had like to begin by saying I'm not an American and I haven't seen the Oscar winning documentary 'Citizenfour'. But I'm very much aware of everything about it through the all kinds of coverages. So my perspective about the film will More

JGL plays a pretty convincing Snowden or at least I think he does as I've only seen the real Snowden in video and Citizenfour. I don't know exactly how correct the movie is to the actual story but as most of these things go, the movie will have been created with a slightly exaggerated storyline and More

Although the movie is not perfect, it's flaws are limited, minute and easily ignored. **A must-watch for anyone using a computer!**

This adaptation of Snowden's transformation from a talented programmer working for the United States secret service into a planetary hero really takes the viewer dee More
