J. Edgar: Clint Eastwood's already controversial new 2011 biopic of the legendary G-man follows Hoover from his earliest years until the time of his death, detailing how he built the FBI into a powerful crime-fighting federal agency whose extensive powers were often questioned and condemned, with special attention paid to activities such as warrantless wiretapping and harassment of civil rights era figures, as well as notable cases like the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and the JFK assassination. The question of Hoover's sexuality is also addressed in Eastwood's period epic; co-stars Armie Hammer, and Naomi Watts. For more great movie content, visit http://MovieFanFare.com.
