Pretty decent movie. Somehow missed this one the last few years but figured I would give it a try when I saw it on HBO.
It's interesting seeing Snowden's background. It was also really creepy to see the example of the technology that the NSA was using to spy on American's and those abroad. I had previously watched Citizenfour so I had known about the meeting in Hong Kong and about the leak of information.. However I will say he definitely was glamorized and made to look like the victim in this movie. It was made to be seen from his side.

This movie is amazing. It's hard to exactly put a finger on what makes its special but I believe it's a combination of a few things. The cinematography is excellent. The score flows well through the movie and really give it its feel. The story is one of the most unique I've ever seen.
I was late to this movie but I am very glad I was finally able to enjoy it.

Kathy Bates puts on an incredible performance. She actually got an Oscar acting in a horror movie. James Caan performance is also understated.
