Interesting but biased

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2017)

As the others that reviewed this I was expecting more of a dramatization. In that respect, it was rather dry and made the only thing to make it worth watching my general curiosity. It still amazes me that people are so naive in the information that's collected on them. Honestly people, if you think our government is truly collecting everything you do, you are seriously naive. Acxiom, buys more information on you than any other data broker. The FBI rarely needs to do any investigation on people, they just have a subscription and pull it up. Most of what the NSA collected was meta-data, just basically index cards to locate data. Granted, still the best way to link people with each other. Back to the movie, it's biased and fails to address the intercepted communications from the Taliban that he revealed. Seriously, why gloss over the stuff that was leaked on what everyone would agree they are supposed to be doing in combating terrorism. The movie, though interesting failed to provide an accurate picture of everything that occurred.
