Do you agree that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has pretty much been a staple in our list of TV drama series growing up?
For me, it started with Twin Peaks in the 90s, followed by X-Files, then more recently, Without A Trace, Criminal Minds, just a few on the top of my head. If you have been glued and been vastly interested with any of these just like me, not only proved that you are my age, you have one person to thank.

He is J.Edgar - you can call him the first ever FBI Agent who founded the whole institution in the 1930s.
Played by Leonardo DiCaprio, the movie gave us a look at the man right up to old age. After watching it, you will then understand the popularity of detective stories all began from him, who took an active interest in ensuring his bureau was not only well-represented in the media, but that the FBI was depicted in a heroic manner in all instances.
So, is the movie worth a look? Certainly.
Being a bit of a geek in secret agents and with DiCaprio starring, Judy Dench in it, make this movie a must-watch for me. A good take-away, is to try your best to ignore the very awful makeup during the 2 hours+ screen-play. Their makeup artists have somehow managed to totally mess up the looks of the elderly version of not one but everyone. In return, you might be surprised to get a rather touching love story mixed in, which sort of, balanced it out!
