Review of J. Edgar (2011) by Movieboy — 10 Feb 2012
How could a film about one of the 20th century's most controversial figures turn out so dull and ponderous. What was Clint thinking. With its endless see saw swing between formative and contemporary times, Leonardo tries his best, but he's hampered by a poor script and noodling direction.
If only it had Scorsese at the helm. Clint usually is quite masterful, but not here.
