Sure the pace is a bit slow, the story fully one-sided and Oliver Stone feels like he's coasting a big but Snowden loses none of the impact. A lot of credit goes to Joseph Gordon-Levitt for another spot-on performance, and an excellent supporting cast including Shailene Woodley, Rhys Ifans, Timothy Olyphant and, surprisingly, even Nicholas Cage. And, in the case of the last film I saw Gordon-Levitt, there is also an accompany documentary that is must-see viewing, Citizenfour from Laura Poitras (which overlaps some with this film). Watch both, you'll be more informed and angrier than ever.
