Ranking December's Movies From Worst To Best

10. Snowden

Rogue One Passengers Why Him
Open Road Films

RottenTomatoes Score: 61% (6.2/10)

Box Office: Oliver Stone's biopic failed to recoup even its rather modest $40 million budget, and this belated UK release hasn't done much to help. Ouch.

Verdict: Though Stone basically pulls a W. and plays things weirdly safe, Snowden is still a decent enough biopic, anchored by surprisingly good work from Joseph Gordon-Levitt considering how miscast he seemed for the part.

Yes, there are cheesy asides, it's far too long and it's easily bested by Laura Poitras' astounding 2014 documentary Citizenfour, but for those who want a slick, informative account of Snowden's life and game-changing act, Stone basically delivers the goods. Basic being the key word.
