Though late to this discussion, I saw it last night (Sat) and left with a feeling of foreboding.
The tie in to current events, what with NSA snooping/Universal healthcare w/electronic records/IRS bullypit . .. it was quite unsettling. Entertaining, worth the admission price, but unsettling. That Robert Redford played the most appropriate part, worthy of his progressive sainthood was a bonus. One of his acting last roles as this type of character is fitting to say the least.

I too saw the movie and enjoyed it. I agree with you on what the movie was trying to communicate with spying a privacy. I can't recall because part of the story moved fast, but I hope they also made the point of self spying with Facebook, instagram and other social media.

I also like the line in the movie when Redford was being harassed by the politicians, his response was classic, "Nothing a few earmarks can't fix"

“The tie in to current events...”

I saw it Sat with my kids and really enjoyed it. I had to explain who Batrok and Zola were. The warning message was very clear.
