I really want to go see it....I heard that Leonardo gives a great performance.

What didn't you like about it?

DeCaprio himself was good, its everything else that stinks. 

They focus way too much time on an alleged gay affair with Hoovers' no. 2 man to the point where it became the central theme of the movie. 

They also spent way too much time on his relationship w his mother.   

The amount of time they spent on the gay affair and his mother issue took away from the large historical issues that should have been addressed. 

The makeup for the aged parts was horrific.


Wait till its on netflix - dont waste the money - the reviews on this are mostly true - wasted opprotunity by Clint.
