Oliver Stone trying to destroy Joseph Gordon-Levitt's career?

Rating: 2/10 (18 November 2016)

Why in the world is this rated over a 7? I guess we really do have a dumb population. The story would be half way decent if Oliver Stone actually hired someone to advise on the inner workings of the army, government, domestic vs. international espionage. etc. But no, we are left with Ollie's ridiculous conspiracy theories. You know, Oliver Stone knows it all these days.
Within the first 5 minutes you just have to accept that Oliver Stone has bought his own media raves from his early career and has parlayed that into movies that lack even the smallest effort (see Savages, yes, savagely horrible is what that was.). Then, like that isn't enough, on cue, Nicholas Cage walks into the movie.
Whatever you feel about the Snowden revelations (and I think the stuff about the domestic spying program coming out was a good thing), this movie is just expensive crapola for Oliver Stone to put out his own tin foil hat opinion. I could be fine with that, but the lack of effort to even gain some kind of understanding of certain things before you put them on film is just so blatantly cheap, and dumb, that this movie isn't worth the effort of watching.
All I know is that Joseph Gordon-Levitt always seemed like a decent capable actor, but this movie should be a negative in his career and whoever advised him to take the role should probably go back to Venezuela with Mr. Stone and stay.
