Snowden (2016): Movie Review

                                                                    

                 Jim Pagiamtzis review
              Oliver Stones shares the journey of Edward Snowden ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt) the work he did that and the information he shared that forever changed the media and social injustices in the world. 

      His personal challenges and relationships suffered as he evolved in the world of the CIA and other government agencies. Amazing supporting cast Nicolas Cage (Hank Forrester) , Zachary Quinto (Glenn Greenwald)  and Rhys Infans(Corbin O'Brien) & Shailene Woodley (Lindsay Mills)  bring together the rise and fall of  Edward Snowden.

               Snowden is currently in Russia at the moment and Lindsay Mills has gone there to live with him. The impact he made cost him his freedom yet in his mind he did the right thing to share the information to tell the world that taking all the information was not the right thing to do.

       9 of 10 stars


                 Movie plot:
             Disillusioned with the intelligence community, top contractor Edward Snowden (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) leaves his job at the National Security Agency.

He now knows that a virtual mountain of data is being assembled to track all forms of digital communication -- not just from foreign governments and terrorist groups, but from ordinary Americans.

When Snowden decides to leak this classified information, he becomes a traitor to some, a hero to others and a fugitive from the law.
