I fond DiCaprio to be horribly miscast in this role. He doesn't look like Hoover and was unable to convince me that he does. I could always see through his character to the underlying actor. He doesn't talk like Hoover either, whom I remember hearing on radio and TV as a child. Also, I found the movie to be glacially slow most of the time, and the continuity wasn't very good. If you want a much better DiCaprio role, I suggest you try his remake of The Great Gatsby. The screen adaptation of the book is far better than the screen play for this movie. A lot of that has to do with Fitzgerald's writing genius. Still, the original Redford movie is the gold standard for Gatsby.
