Though there are some strong performances, especially from Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeffery Donovan as Robert Kennedy, "J. Edgar" doesn't pack much punch. The non-sequential nature of the writing doesn't work for the film. It actually tends to hinder the narrative, and drag the film down in many spots. With all of the great talent behind this picture, it doesn't feel the way an Eastwood directed story about a controversial historical figure should.
