Default J. Edgar
Saw J. Edgar yesterday. For those of you who are American history buffs or those interested in law enforcement , it's worth going to see. Very interesting portrayal of J. Edgar Hoover by Leonardo DiCaprio. Although trying to cover 50+ years in just over 2 hours there were a lot of stories about J. Edgar Hoover left untold. First rate cast. One criticism that I have heard professional critics make that I agree with -- one of the lead characters in the movie (I won't say which one) had a bad makeup job as this character ages about 50 years during the movie.
