Here's a brief shot that really niggled me. The film makers obviously went to a lot of trouble to stay true to the real story by filming in and around The Mira Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. Why then, for a later scene, did they chuck in a piece of old stock footage of a building that wasn't even around by the time the Snowden story was actually playing out in real life?
The shot in question is a quick snippet illustrating how Snowden's revelations are being broadcast around the world. So the film makers cut to a quick scene of an outdoor TV screen showing his interview. The problem is that the screen is attached to the side of a rather famous building that was unfortunately demolished and redeveloped circa 2007. It's the old Queen's Theatre on Queen's Road Central.
