You might not agree with Stone that the man is a hero, but you probably do want to see the film so you can compute what the whole uproar was about.

It’s the most important and galvanizing political drama by an American filmmaker in years.

For a film that’s so politically risky — Stone hasn’t named names and pointed fingers (at both sides of the aisle, incidentally) in a mainstream movie like this for years — it’s surprisingly safe aesthetically.

As a piece of filmed entertainment Snowden is certainly a watchable endeavor, but Stone and screenwriter Kieran Fitzgerald’s script is often an odd mix of hero worship, conspiratorial thriller and cringe worthy dialogue.
50
It somehow manages to make a fascinating, utterly contemporary narrative feel like old news.
