Mann delivers as does Depp and Bale. Billy Crudup's J. Edgar Hoover mesmerizes. As usual, Mann shortchanges female roles. Marion Cotillard is a dull temptress." Posted Jun 30, 2009 |

Crap. No script, no acting, no sex, and no talent. Disney animation has more sex. Grey is shot hidden in the dark and behind sofas. She's an emotional bore & spends 77 minutes putting her hair in a bun." Posted May 22, 2009 |
