Snowden [DVD] [2016]

I thought the movie was very realistic of true events and offer some insight into what is going on in government, the CIA and the real world. I think everyone should watch it.

Snowden is a great movie that makes you think about how much spying the U.S. is doing on it's people. To be honest I thought Edward Snowden was a traitor before seeing this movie. I didn't know all the information about what he did before seeing this movie. Even though this movie doesn't tell you everything it does a great job telling the major parts of his story. The actors did a great job and the pacing is good. I like that this movie started when Snowden was in the military and you got to see what happened to him through his career and eventually him living in Russia. I still think he should pay for telling the public information he swore to keep secret I understand more why he did tell. You will enjoy this movie even if your not into technology or understand all the tech lingo spoken. Overall this is a Sunday afternoon rainy day movie to enjoy with someone.

I behooves all thinking and intelligent persons to know what Edward Snowden risked his life and career to reveal, and this movie gives the story with compelling accuracy. Some consider him a hero, others consider him a candidate for treason, yet if the facts on the ground are known and understood, he has to stand out as one of the most important figures of modern times. The movie in some places is astounding and eye-opening so far as how far, and to what degree, the NSA and CIA probes into the private lives of every American, everywhere on planet earth. The acting is good, and there are some sexy parts too if you're into that, but I would like to have seen the story and the details of it developed to a greater degree. Nevertheless, this portrayal provides an education and left me thinking for days after seeing it the first time.

'Snowden' is one of the greatest films from Oliver Stone in years. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, on the other hand, gives a masterful performance as NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The film itself goes into great detail as it chronicles the backstory of Snowden's life and how he managed to pull off one of the greatest political exposures in U.S. history. As an added bonus, this DVD / Blu-Ray pack also features an exclusive interview with Edward Snowden himself while the end credits feature a montage of clips...including archived material from the now infamous 2016 U.S. election as well. In summary, if you like a well crafted docu-drama, then 'Snowden' is for you!

I enjoy "based of true stories" the most! This is a very interesting movie but very aggrevating to know how crooked many leaders in our country have been and still are at every level. They can't comprehend that they will only get away with it until their judgment day!

I saw SNOWDEN in the theater, and I couldn't wait for it to be released on DVD. I was fascinated with the Oscar-winning documentary, CITIZEN FOUR, and this film only served to reinforce the courageous nature of this brave individual. The film took a personal look at the man, so it brought him back to life in a way we can all better try to understand him as a human being. The performances were great, and the film was thought-provoking. Furthermore, the extras were fabulous. I am happy to have this DVD along side my DVD of CITIZEN FOUR.

I had no idea this movie existed, but have heard the name "Snowden" thrown around so I gladly bought it. It was a great movie. And there was more truth in it than anticipated. It is truly an eye opener! It will cause you to do things differently! It was even mentioned in the movie that foreign scammers will win the "Malware" American war. Ironically and unfortunately, my son was the victim of a Chinese "Malware" scam and lost 10K just days prior to watching this movie! Like I said: more truth than anticipated!

I truly admire and respect Edward Snowden for what he did. You can say he took one for the team and exposed the "man" and showed their true colors. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley had amazing chemistry and were great as Edward and Lindsay. The story is amazing as it shows you how he came to making the decision he did as well as everything he went through before that. The acting was great, directing, just everything. I recommend this if you wanna see a great biopic.
