“When morals decline, and good men do nothing, evil flourishes.”
The trailer and therefore the movie hits on all the high and low points of the long-serving F.B.I. Director’s life and it certainly looks great period-wise, but you have to wonder what the actual story is going to be about. Thematically it’s all there, however, and that’s important. The opening piece of narration (quoted above) gives you an idea of what will drive the character and the closing piece of narration — “even great men can be corrupted” — is likely the theme Eastwood’s driving throughout.
Hate to say it, but it’s still difficult to accept DiCaprio in these adult roles.
“J. Edgar” hits theatres November 9th.
