This movie was ****** fantastic! Leo acted his little ass off and deserves every damn nomination. Hoover was a full blown faggot, period that is common knowledge, didn\'t need this movie to prove it. ... He would have been outraged only because it was paraded on screen not because it wasn\'t true. This is a must see! Full Review
Worst movie I saw in years. Very confusing. No real plot. Poor script. Totally disappointed.
My grandfather was one of J. Edgar Hoover\'s closest associates and right hand men. My father, his son, was also an FBI agent. I think they would both have a cow if they saw this film. Hoover was not ... gay (an neither was my grandfather) I have a feeling that this movie, like so many others is just full of fantasy, crap, made up nonsense, slanderous rumors and conspiracy. Its too bad that this generation has become so disrespectful and full of cynicism regarding the history of this country. It is tragic that young people do not know real history, but only junk history, made up Hollywood.history. Full Review
This could be the worst movie I have ever seen!!! No plot, no excitement, no anything. Ok, fine he was gay, but we need more than that for a story!!! Don\'t waste your money.
