    I think Eastwood tried to get around the height difference by surrounding DiCaprio with as tall or taller actors. I didn't have a problem with it.

    But he's too tall for the part

    Hoover was only about 5' 4" max...maybe i'm nit picking but i think its a glaring error

    Didn't notice/didn't care, I loved the film.

    This film gets mixed reviews by the experts. As an average joe public with a good knowledge of the US I really enjoyed this film. DiCaprio was superb,the only weakness was that the film did not go within a country mile of McCarthyism and that shameful episode in US history

    been searching to buy this in Ireland on blu-ray, xtravision apparently never got the bluray to sell on retail.

    Did anyone get this in any of the HMV stores on bluray.

    Thanks.
