Über diesen Film

During his lifetime, J. Edgar Hoover would rise to be the most powerful man in America. As head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years, he would stop at nothing to protect his country. Through eight presidents and three wars, Hoover waged battle against threats both real and perceived, often bending the rules to keep his countrymen safe. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted, if ever elusive, prize. Hoover was a man who placed great value on secrets-particularly those of others-and was not afraid to use that information to exert authority over the leading figures in the nation. Understanding that knowledge is power and fear poses opportunity, he used both to gain unprecedented influence and to build a reputation that was both formidable and untouchable.

Leo has shown great talent in this one. I won't go into any details, as to no spoil the movie for those who will watch it. Just don't like to see that kind of "stuff" EVER. Sure hope this was not over fabricated because I would hate to think people really believe this to be 100% true. His memory will forever be tainted now. Forever.

Some of this movie was interesting (the first half) but it takes a very misplaced and weird turn to focus on his romance with another man......which really took away from the movie. If they would have focused more on his cases I probably would have been able to watch it through without being bored to death

It would not work even after I pinned it and it was 100% downloaded. Wrote to Google requested my refund and they got back to me in the same day and refunded me the same day Their customer service is great. Thinking about downloaded again but don't want the same issue.....
