I have to give this review an incomplete for now because out of total exhaustion I passed out like 15 minutes in and woke up with about 15 minutes left. DAMN YOU, COMFY RECLINING CHAIRS!!! Anywho, the opening and closing both felt very powerful and I know that I felt hooked by the movie even though I had missed most of the it. I will reference Wonder Woman's thoughts on the movie for an actual perspective. She loved it. She was definitely hooked and is still talking about the movie a couple of days later. It didn't seem like too much of an Oliver Stone movie in that his usual biases come into play and he is showing a specific perspective. He definitely provided a much more human side of Snowden than we have seen before and you come away from the movie with a much better understanding of everything that happened.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out . . . . . . including myself again so I can see the whole movie. WW definitely gives it a big thumbs up and I can't wait for it to show up online so I can finish watching it.
