Factual Mistake
Despite being portrayed as an extremely skilled hacker, Snowden uses drag-and-drop to copy the files to his microSD card in the Hawaii NSA base, exposing himself to being found, a hacker, would have used the command line, and would have minimized the window so it wouldn't stay visible on the screen.
Miscellaneous
When Snowden throws his credentials on the bed to prove the journalist who he is, their position changes between shots.
Miscellaneous
When Corbin writes FISA on the board, the text changes between shots, with the circle surrounding it.
Continuity
When Snowden leaves his hotel room for the last time a cellphone can be seen inside the microwave oven.
