Jekyll and Hyde


I finally got around to watching this movie and it was very disappointing. While Leo's performance was good, it portrayed a man who not only deeply cared for his country, it showed a man who was seduced by the power he wielded and his own paranoia over losing that power.

I don't think that anyone would know if Hoover was a homosexual, but he did succeed in taking an obscure government bureau and making it into the most respected law enforcement agency in the world. I think that the movie spent too much effort on the former and not on the latter.

And, the makeup artist that worked on the set should never work again in Hollywood!! It was terrible!
