"J. Edgar" is a curiously flat biopic for one of the most polarizing figures of the 20th century. Depending on who you ask, J. Edgar Hoover was either one of the greatest innovators in the field of law enforcement or a power-mad tyrant. Clint Eastwood's new drama tends more toward the latter than the former, though it seems clear the great director has some admiration, or at least healthy respect, for Hoover's perseverance and resolve.
