Snowden

Slow pacing hinders this intriguing, ire-producing, factually inspired, star-studded (Nicolas Cage, Joely Richardson, Shailene Woodley, Scott Eastwood, Timothy Olyphant, and Rhys Ifans), 134-minute, behind-the-scenes Oliver Stone film based on Luke Harding's novel The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man and on Anatoly Kucherena's Time of the Octopus"\ that chronicles the fast-track career of computer programming genius and high school dropout Edward Joseph Snowden (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) as a CIA and NSA analyst and program designer to his covert meeting in June 2013 with documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras (Melissa Leo) and journalists Glenn Greenwald (Zachary Quinto) and Ewen MacAskill (Tom Wilkinson) to expose the U.S. monitoring of millions of Americans and other citizens worldwide.
