Review of J. Edgar (2011) by Ronny W — 22 Aug 2012

Is it the most engaging movie? No; but that's not the point. Putting aside the plethora of harsh criticism Clint Eastwood received--this is a well-acted, and well done movie. Leonardo DiCaprio did a fine job, and it was an interesting take on Hoover.

I almost felt as if the movie needed another hour to delve even deeper into Hoover's mind--it's as if the movie had a beginning, some things were left out in the middle, and then tried to wrap itself up too soon.
