Movie looks stupid IMO. It's not like Snowden's story is action packed or anything. However, I appreciate the fact that he threw his life away so America could know what the government is doing. I'm sure he's real proud of that move considering most people either don't care or want him hung.
I find it ironic that forums like this are heavy on standing up to the government if it overreaches it's boundary (many claiming it already has) and disobeying laws that are unjust or unconstitutional but when someone does just that the same people yelling about patriotism from the highest peak they can find are the first to label him a treasonous traitor who should be paraded through the streets after being killed in some gruesome manner. I guess you have to take up arms against your brother and kill in order to be seen as someone fighting for freedom & liberty otherwise you're a wussy and a traitor who should be executed.
