Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 6/10 --
The acting is wonderful, as one would expect, but the story lacks punch.

Ladue News
The Hoover material is ugly and very American, and it might have made an authentic monster story. But the picture offered is muddled, cautious, and at cross purposes.

[J. Edgar Hoover] is brought to life... by DiCaprio, in a surprisingly mature performance.

Washington Examiner
Dominating almost every scene, DiCaprio is an extremely attractive actor, but while perfectly capable of projecting Hoover's occasionally nutty side, he has far too much leading-man charm to make an audience shudder.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
A gripping and fascinating film, humming with an electric undercurrent of sexual tension that is something of a new territory for Eastwood.

Eastwood's sure-handed direction, Black's time-shifting storytelling and the stellar performances make "J. Edgar" worth watching.

Product Description:
Acclaimed actor Leonardo DiCaprio stars in Academy Award-winning director Clint Eastwood's richly detailed biopic exploring the life and career of controversial FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. For nearly 50 years, Hoover (DiCaprio) fought crime as one of the most powerful law enforcers in America. During Hoover's extended stint as Director of the FBI, however, his penchant for bending the law in the name of seeking justice and using the secrets of high profile leaders to gain personal leverage won him just as many supporters as detractors. Little did many other than his loyal colleague Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer) and faithful secretary Helen Gandy (Naomi Watts) know, however, that Hoover himself was a man with many secrets to hide. Josh Lucas, Judi Dench, and Stephen Root co-star in film written by Oscar-winning MILK scribe Dustin Lance Black.
