J. Edgar/YMMV


 * Critical Dissonance: Based on the Rottentomatoes score, those categorized as "Top Critics" were much more likely to give the film positive reviews. This was also the case with Clint Eastwood's previous film Hereafter.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Hoover. Brilliant? His FBI is the first law enforcement agency in the U.S. to focus on forensic evidence such as fingerprints. Check. Devious? He keeps secret files on all his political rivals. Check. Smooth operator? Some of his hearings before Congress draws applause from the crowd. Check. Has a goal? Two actually, the success of the FBI and his own fame. Check. Charismatic? Gets a peck on the cheek from Shirley Temple and is invited to dine with Ginger Rogers.
