J. Edgar
It's the man behind the FBI meets "Brokeback Mountain" in director Clint Eastwood's Hoover exposé. Whether it's fact or fiction, Eastwood creates a fascinating biography of one of America's most powerful and feared man in government. To keep is potential enemies at bay, Hoover kept confidential files of dirty secrets, while yet he may have been hiding one dark secret of his own. Filmed in muted colors, this movie captures the look of this historical period while giving us glimpses of such names as Kennedy, King, Lindbergh, and Temple. Leonardo DiCaprio's performance is phenomenal as he carries the audience through a slow-paced 140 minutes. The movie is a terrific character study on what this remarkable man may have been like.
Alien gives it 3 "information is power" stars out of 4.
