Better than the professional reviews

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2016)

Watching this movie felt like a wonderful relief after a long-suffered constipation thanks to Oliver Stone in taking a huge chance, I thought in telling a story that might not be well received by the mass public. In this day and age when the mainstream media is so politically influenced, facts are precious commodities. Until I saw the movie, I was unaware of the extent of the government's encroachment on individual's liberties. Now, the reality is more like the movies. Snowden risked his freedom and career to expose the U.S. government's unconstitutional activities. The cast was great, and the suspense was great. The only thing I really hated about the movie was Shailene Woodley's ill-fitting wig. This is a movie worth seeing.
