As the face of law enforcement in America for almost 50 years, J. Edgar Hoover was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life.
nudity | A sex shadowed scene is shown but nothing explicit is seen. |
violence | A bomb blows up a house with a family inside. No one gets hurt, but the family was shaken by it. A raid happens near the beginning of the movie that shows people punching, kicking, and knocking large things over. Upstairs a man is shown on the floor getting beaten severely by two other men with guns and fists while also getting kicked in the side and face. A shootout takes place that shows police officer's getting shot and killed. Although the shooting isn't that graphic, it does show bullet wounds on several of them. A child's skeleton is found in the woods. Later we hear that his leg was missing and he had a massive blow to the head. |
profanity | Two uses to the word cocksucker and one use of the "F" word. A single profaning of God's name comes from the lips of Richard Nixon at the end of the movie. |
alcohol | Some drinking and smoking is seen throughout the film. |
frightening | A family's house get's bombed. The raid scene can be disturbing to some. A couple of shootouts can be disturbing. The child's skeleton in the woods is rather hard to see and hear about. |
