Finally! It’s here! Ever since I heard about this movie, many months before production even started, I was very excited for it. Not only was Leo DiCarprio and Clint Eastwood going to finally work together, but it was about an individual who I always thought was fascinating, J. Edgar Hoover. The supporting cast (Armie Hammer, Naomi Watts, Judi Dench,  etc) is amazing, and I’m glad the trailer gives us a glimpse of their brilliance. I love dark look of the film. It’s reminiscent of Changeling & Mystic River. This is what Eastwood does best. Plus, Dustin Lance Black wrote the script. If you don’t remember, he won an Oscar a few years ago for his screenplay for Milk. Definitely Oscar bait, huh?

For those that aren’t familar with the story, check out the summary below:

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.
