Snowden Movie Review: Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Thrilling Spy Drama

Joseph Gordon Levitt gives an outstanding performance in Oliver Stone’s biopic ‘Snowden’. Chronicling the life of American computer professional Edward Snowden, who exposed a US government mass surveillance program and became a symbol for digital privacy rights around the world, the film is riveting from start to finish. From its beautifully shot cinematography to its urgent score, ‘Snowden’ is a powerful and compelling look at one man’s journey from patriot to whistleblower. The film masterfully captures Snowden’s struggles as he navigates complex moral issues surrounding his actions, while offering an insightful examination of the cost of speaking truth to power.
