Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

He unveiled a thing that he thought isn't right but for the government, that act is a betrayal. Probably there is no right act or wrong act. All you have to do is to follow what you think is right.

This movie was absolutly excellent! The only people that would rate this movie bad are liberals or anyone that doesnt agree with what he did because they probably work for the shady part of the government. The rubix cube scene was absolutly genius. I have paid to see this movie 3 times when it was in theater all with different people. Amazinf movie!!

Irrespective of what one may think of the acting and directing (which I found just fine), the actual story sits alongside "Inside Job" and "Sicko" as revelations as to how the American way has been subverted in the name of unprincipled profit and corporate world domination. It is hardly surprising that Russia, China and even allies are pulling back from global partnership as they have realised how the USA's leaders cannot be trusted as partners, since their goal is US supremacy and control, vital agreements are discarded from one presidency to the next and cooperation is only interesting as long as it yields advantages (we still remember how the leader of a major nation who acted like that led us all into a global war). It is tragic, because the ordinary American people are not like that and have always been noted for their willingness to help those in need, at home and abroad. Whistleblowers like Snowden are essential to a healthy society and it is disgraceful that in the USA they fear for their freedom, their jobs, economic well-being and even their lives. Watch this film to see how a proud American had his faith that his country's practices matched its espoused values eroded by what he saw in his privileged position within the intelligence community. And be proud of him that once it went too far he did something about it, even knowing that it would be at considerable personal cost.

Not Oliver Stone's best work, but nicely paced. JGL is OK but has failed to capture how enigmatic Edward Snowden actually is (as seen in Laura poitras' Citiznfour). Let's just jump straight to Rhys Ifans portrayal of CIA mentor Corbin O'Brian. Mesmerising, everything else fades into the background whenever he's on screen. I'll be absolutely gobsmacked if he's not cast as the supervillain in the next Bond movie.
