Overview
As the face of law enforcement in America for almost 50 years, J. Edgar Hoover was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life.
The movie itself was just “ok”, but the acting and the direction were pretty good. The subject matter (Hoover) is what carried the day. I am a little surprised by the poor reviews on Rottentomatoes.com
