Users Reviews

Great topic, confusing implementation
The make up really stands out. In a bad way. As much as Meryl Streep was an awesome and convincing old Thatcher, the old Hoover is pretty terrible and his boyfriend even more so. It almost spoils the whole film, the overdone make up and...
Leo Does it Again
Leo perfectly emulates corrupt cops. It seems that he was born in the wrong era judging by his past epic performances of suave cops and conmen going against the system. He does a great job depicting the controversial life of J. Edgar Hoover.
