Pretty. Bad.

from New York, NY
Boy was the depression beautiful to look at.
Other than that, this was one silly movie.
The violence was more than cartoonish. It was like the movie Dick Tracy except it took itself seriously. Even if you believed the characters for a second, you couldn't be interested in them. There was nothing there. Depp was cashing a paycheck. His Franco-Native American moll was ridiculous. The only thing interesting about Crudup as Hoover was trying to guess if he matched De Niro in Raging Bull for the most weight gained for a role award (unless it was pillows and digital jowls but who cares). Christian Bale gave his usual intensity as a substitute for intelligence reading. The only good, believable performance Stephen Lang in a small role.

No, I do not recommend this movie.
