Snowden

Save for some impassioned documentaries, Oliver Stone s output has felt a bit uninspired for a while now. Projects centered on George W. Bush, Wall Street and the drug trade have certainly shown a thorough interest in the issues of the day, but it s all been less revelatory than rote. So here s hoping an examination of Edward Snowden doesn t merely feel of a piece with that trajectory. Also, along with The Walk, the film will surely keep actor Joseph Gordon Levitt in the spotlight all season.
