Director : Clint Eastwood
Running Time : 137 mins
While being interviewed for a biography of his life, J Edgar Hoover () recounts his career as head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, from his early days as a man obsessed with taking action against those he feel oppose the American way of life right up to his involvement in certain cases where he embellished his role in certain captures to make himself looking like a great man to both politicians and the public.
Although a little slow, and aside from the fact that there isn’t really any action, this is still an interesting movie that manages to address Hoover’s relationship with fellow bureau official Clyde Tolson without openly saying they were gay. DiCaprio brings Hoover to life with an incredible sense of belief that is heavily promoted by Eastwood’s great directing, but sadly there isn’t really enough here to make this a truly great biopic.
