Not one of Leo's finest but still amazing to watch
|Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendI want to start off by saying Leo rarely and I mean rarely makes a bad movie. if you look at his list of work. you really can't find a bad film he's done. with that said, this movie probably had to be one of his worse but still holds up and good for most other actors. the fact it was directed by Clint as well is shocking that it didn't get better praise but I guess you can't hit homeruns all the time.

Can't go wrong with DiCaprio - Best Buy F-
|Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendDiCaprio great as always!!! Advice --- purchase from Walmart instead. Best Buy advertises they have movies in-stock READY TO SHIP but actually their inventory is limited. They actually allow you to purchase movies that are BACKORDERED and keep giving you false ship dates. Save yourself a lot of trouble and just purchase them from Walmart that way you can actually be watching the movie instead of waiting on it. Again movie rates an A+ but Best Buy rates an F- (lower if there is such). AFTER READING THE REVIEW GUIDLELINES I AM PRETTY SURE THIS REVIEW WON'T GET POSTED. THAT'S OK --- IF BEST BUY KEEPS STICKING IT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS THERE WON'T BE ANY NEED FOR REVIEWS!!!

Entertaining
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendEpic yet boring. It explores the public and private life of one of the most powerful and controversial figures of the 20th century. As the face of law enforcement in America for almost fifty 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

Epic story of J. Edgar Hoover, former FBI Director
|Posted .It is said that casting is everything and Eastwood, the Director, really got it right. The clothing, automobiles and social customs of about the 70 year period of the films story were very closely replicated, materially added to the story-telling and a fuller understanding of the saga by the audience. Filmed in color but most scenes were very dark which I am sure was the Directors desire to more effectively tell the story which was shrouded in mystery.

A descent movie
|Posted .I'm not sure how historically factually it is but it is a good movie regardless.

Biography
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendThis is an extraordinarily well done film by Mr. Eastwood and the actors involved. Leaves the inquisitive mind with room to debate and discuss the possibilities of such an account.

Great movie that tells a great story
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendThis was a great movie that tells a great story about a very important person in US history. The acting and the cast were great. It was a little lengthy for my taste and a little confusing how the story jumped back to the beginning from time to time. But overall a very good movie and suggest it to anyone who likes historic films.
