My wife started watching this movie on Netflix. At first I didn't know what she was watching until I started to watch the storyline. I recognized Snowden's character as soon and I yelled out, "Let me guess, Snowden!" At first it was kind of slow but I liked how the movie took us through Snowden's life and how he got to meet his girlfriend. Then from there we were hooked. SPOILER WARNING: The ending was this powerful scene where Snowden actually shows up. I loved it.
