Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a brilliant actor and delivers Snowden's flat timbre and character perfectly.
Unfortunately, this may be a case where the lead is too good of an actor.
Snowden's flat timbre and character is dull to the point of annoying and, in acting him to perfection, JGL injects dull annoyance into the film.
Whose to blame? JGL? Stone? Snowden himself? Hard to say, however, reality isn't always entertaining and "Snowden" may have been a better story for a documentary than a dramatic film.
