J. Edgar – Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer and Naomi Watts. Directed by Clint Eastwood. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Although his standing as one of cinema’s great icons will never be challenged, Clint Eastwood has surely evolved into one of the drabbest, stagiest, and most emotionally disconnected directors in Hollywood.
