    Why do some of these critics call him a traitor? Don't citizens deserve to know when the government does corrupt things like tap our phones? He lost everything to expose the truth. Traitors do things for their own gain.

    Well done explainer movie. The most interesting thing, for me, was the fact that it was suspenseful, despite the fact that the story is already well known.

    This movie is not for everyone....a lot of talking, explaining the surveillance issues etc. I liked it, I sympathized with Snowden at the time. Brave, bold, modern hero.

    very interesting movie-extremely good acting by gordon-levitt-and i feel this movie portrays quite accurately to a degree what goes on behind the scenes and that our freedoms and privacy which we are entitled to are in danger of being eroded.

    "Hero or Traitor? You decide?" I love that Hollywood is documenting our history in movies like Snowden, which I agree is well written and performed. Though a biased perspective, it challenges us to see the importance of investigative journalism and liberties that allow for a democratic society. What would Hitler or Stalin have done to their critics with that kind of unbridled use of technology? What would Trump do with it? As said by a previous reviewer, "Let the conversation begin" and for once let's listen to each other instead of demonizing the other perspective. Isn't that what democracy is about?

    Superbly written and well acted. Hero or traitor? You decide. It's time to start the global conversation. Bring your entire family!

    So boring. Edward Snowden has the personality of a rock. And on top of that, he's a traitor. Hollywood is so liberal, they have no values, it's not surprising they're making a hero out of this bum.

    Pathetic Hollywood attempt to put a positive spin on the story of a traitor and coward who put hundreds of soldiers lives at risk.
