Review of J. Edgar (2011) by Dan M — 17 Apr 2012
I had every intention of finding something to appreciate about "J. Edgar." Leonardo DiCaprio usually turns in an "up to snuff" performance. Clint Eastwood is an excellent director. What went so wrong?
This is a exceedingly long, disjointed, poorly acted, poorly directed debacle. It is easy to see why the film was snubbed by the Oscars.
The film jumps all over the place as if it had a bad case of St. Vitus Dance! The make-up is unprofessional and pasty. The acting of just about everyone in the film including pros such as Judi Dench and Naomi Watts is robotic bordering on catatonic!
In sum, four words...... don't waste your time!
