Snowden - Kritiken

Stone made the very smart move to hire a committed, underrated actor to playthe challenging lead role, and the result is a film that thrives off itscentral performance.

...a capably delivered thriller that’s as powerful as it is pertinent.

...a fine performance from Joseph Gordon-Levitt...

Gordon-Levitt (...) nails the part completely, physically hunching down into himself and getting Snowden’s halting, thoughtful speech patterns just right...

...is really absorbing, with a great lead performance from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who brings an intelligent, observant alertness to his portrayal of Snowden.

Det er en troværdig og medrivende skildring af en usædvanligt skarp ung mand, der bliver forført af sine egne evner og hurtige karriereopstigning med voksende ansvar, men på et tidspunkt ikke længere kan ignorere den knude i maven...

…det är inte svårt att känna sig paranoid. Ett gott betyg i sammanhanget.

Intet brænder i filmen Snowden andet end Stones tro på at Snowdens handling alene giver filmen en eksistensberettigelse.

De sidste tyve minutter er en regulær, nervepirrende thriller, effektivt fotograferet af danske Anthony Dod Mantle.

...stjärnspäckad rollbesättning och effektivit manus...
