Snowden is the kind of film that pops up like "Have you watched this film called Snowden?" from a friend when you are having a savvy conversation about technological advancements and it's implications. Yes, Snowden is a thriller film based on a real life person, a thrilling biography to be precise.
I watched it without having any background about the person involved and to be honest I was mind blown to imbibe the story line and to realize that it is not just a movie but indeed a true story. Although exaggerated in certain aspects, the story is amazing and visually appealing. The movie presents facts in a stirring narrative and keeps you excited.
The actor who has played the protagonist's role which is based on the real-life person has done a brilliant job; the mannerisms and demeanor were compelling. Once you are exposed to the crux of the story, you will be amazed about the inconceivable realistic world we actually we live in.
