J. Edgar - The Movie

Though less about plea bargaining and more about law & order generally, I thought it worth mentioning that the new movie J. Edgar is out in theatres. Here is a link to the trailer. Below is also a portion of a review by the L.A. Times.
"J. Edgar" is a somber, enigmatic, darkly fascinating tale, and how could it be otherwise?

This brooding, shadow-drenched melodrama with strong political overtones examines the public and private lives of a strange, tortured man who had a phenomenal will to power. A man with the keenest instincts for manipulating the levers of government, he headed the omnipotent Federal Bureau of Investigation for 48 years. Though in theory he served eight presidents, in practice J. Edgar Hoover served only himself.
The full review from the L.A. Times is available here. Roger Ebert also has a review, which is available here
