long and predictable

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2017)

Please note this is about the movie, not the reality of Snowden.
As a movie the acting is good and professional but the story is poorly told, disjointed and lacks continuity.
There are multiple jumps forward and back in time, hints of what is happening in terms of scanning and hacking ordinary people but nothing is developed to make this important within the context of the movie. Ultimately it gets somewhat tedious and faintly boring.
The whole movie just seems a build up to the glorification of the betrayal / whistleblowing profound ending speech.
Not a good effort sadly.
