Clint Eastwood's movies themselves are hit-or-miss, but even one of his worst does history right.
Clint Eastwood is one of cinema’s greatest legends, and there’s no doubt that he’s one of the hardest working directors in the history of the industry. At the crisp age of 92, Eastwood is set to begin production on Juror #2, a legal thriller that he’s announced officially will be his final film. With nearly 40 films credited to his name, Eastwood is certainly one of the most productive filmmakers out there, even if he’s not necessarily a consistent one.
DiCaprio’s performance is only effective when viewed through a very specific context; the film is not a literal depiction of Hoover’s life, but rather the version of his history that he wants to be remembered. Since the film is framed with Hoover narrating his life to a series of journalists with only brief moments shared with an older Tolson, it's evident that there’s nothing objective about what’s being presented.
Eastwood’s Productions Are Unique DiCaprio’s performance was deemed to be nothing more than “awards bait” at the time, as it was released just a few years before he finally won the Academy Award for Best Actor with his performance in The Revenant. While DiCaprio’s performance is broad, and a scene where he testifies to the Senate Appropriations Committee feels specifically designed to be an “Oscar clip,” a larger-than-life figure deserves a larger-than-life performance.
