I love this movie even though I know it didn't dive deep into some forever historical happenings such as the JFK or MLK killings, but all the history Hoover was involved in would take a series. Clint's movies with history are some of the best. Leo & Armie did an outstanding job acting, and their relationship was done tastefully. I've seen this movie several times and always enjoy. J Edgar was a conniving, conceited, brilliant, diabolical, and complicated man with a top spot in American history. The FBI whether you like them or not was a great venture created by Hoover. Fingerprinting was laughed at by most in the policing industry but is still a Vital tool used today to solve a slew of crimes.
