Oliver Stone has done it again. A thought provoking and debate starting movie. Go in with an open mind. I loved this.

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2016)

"I no longer have to worry about what happens tomorrow because I'm happy with what I've done today" Edward Snowden (Gordon-Levitt) wants to serve his country in anyway he can after the military doesn't work out. What starts off as a dream job with the CIA changes into something he can't reconcile with himself. He moves from career to career but nothing changes, until he decides to tell the public what he knows. This is a movie that will elicit many emotions from people and a massive political debate can be the result of watching this. I will take that out of the review since this is a movie and not a documentary. Oliver Stone has been my favorite director for a while and he proves it again here. The movies he makes are not just movies they are statements. This is no different. I'm not sure how much is realistic and how much is added but I will say that the movie deals with his emotions and the reasons he did what he did. If you go into this movie with an open mind you will get the desired experience. If you go on with your stance firmly on either side you will find things that will enhance your opinion. That's the beauty of Oliver Stone. Overall, Joseph Gorden-Levitt says it best when he said, "its not just your average drama. It's an Oliver Stone movie." I give this an A.
