This film, while well acted by all the stars, felt more like a spoon-fed dry history lesson that box-office entertainment. It's not that the scenes weren't interesting to look at, it was all just talk, talk, talk. And not really interesting. The film was dull as paste. And eating paste might have been more lively. The film just missed for me. And I couldn't have been more happy when it was finally over. Leave bio-pics for TV entertainment, mini-series, rather than fictionalizing very dull events. You can skip it in my book. But if you love DiCaprio.. you've got to see it. Bring a pillow, or a gun in case you want an easy way out.

Clint Eastwood's biopic on the like of former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover may not be perfect, but one thing that is perfect is Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as the complex Hoover. To be the world's biggest movie star it is amazing how DiCaprio can transform himself in nearly every roll he plays to where you forget your watching LEONARDO DICAPRIO. He completely becomes Hoover in this movie. DiCaprio earned a SAG Award nomination for Best Actor for this performance and it was well deserved. The pace of the movie drags at times but DiCaprio always keeps you engaged. Showing once again why he is the best actor of his generation.

Very interesting and very important history. It is recommended to watch it, and chew it, every 10 years.
