- Ability over Appearance: Joseph Gordon-Levitt bears little resemblance to the real Edward Snowden but it can be assumed it was his acting skills that won out over other competitors for the role.
- All-Star Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley, Zachary Quinto, Rhys Ifans, Nicolas Cage, Scott Eastwood, Melissa Leo, Tom Wilkinson, Timothy Olyphant, and Joely Richardson are all quite well-known.
- Box Office Bomb: The film grossed $37.6 million on a budget of $40 million.
- Creator Killer: This film seems to have killed co-writer/director Oliver Stone's theatrical career, as most of his recent output has been documentaries.
- Fake American: The very Welsh Rhys Ifans as the very American Corwin O'Brien.
- Queer Character, Queer Actor: Glenn Greenwald is played Zachary Quinto. Both men are openly gay in real life.
