Snowden | Based on a True Story
Time for another review, and this time it is the movie Snowden, by Oliver Stone. Snowden is an important movie to cover here, not only because of the subject matter, but also the first time I get to take apart one of Stone's messes. I get kind of angry in this one, so strap in.
