As the face of law enforcement in America for almost 50 years, J. Edgar Hoover was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life.

Oh Christy, spank me!

framerate issues with the close-up cams?

I likes this movie a lot, and I was shocked that DiCaprio wasn't nominated for an Oscar. I agree the story could be seen slow to some people, but I tout it was really good.

yes, he is... and...?

[napo2k11]

That fat fag is always hating.. he's obviously gay..

:D I said the same thing about the putty!

They looked like Clayface after he gets solvent dumped on him.

But I agree with them for the most part, I was disappointed by the movie... I wanted a more psychological look at the characters, oh well.

I was actually very disappointed with this movie. The trailer was more entertaining than the actual film. I'd think Leonardo Di'Caprio in a dramatic historical film directed by Clint Eastwood would be awesome but I have to say, it was by one of the worst and most disappointing films I've seen in a while. Very sad.

Alonso I'm with you I was super conscious of him doing the voice and the guy that played Bobby Kennedy too

[crayyawn]

I did not enjoy watching this movie. I guess it was probably a good movie and was definitely well done, but I hated Hoover so much it was impossible to like the film. Really just a sad character who makes you feel depressed to watch
