Review of Snowden (2016) by Joel A — 27 Sep 2016
The new Oliver Stone film that simply put falls short of the impact his films usually have. Although it's unfair to compare this film to the Academy Award Winning Documentary Citizenfour which was catching Snowden's moves live but the impact of corruption & attack of privacy but this film felt weak.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a good job with the role but once the secret was put worldwide the film is building up to a conclusion you already know.
Shot with a strong visual sense & flowed well but I found it a little 'play it safe' for the likes of Oliver Stone. A good film but nothing extraordinary at all......
