The story of the late J. Edgar Hoover, who was head of the FBI from 1924-1972. The film follows Hoover from his racket-busting days through his reign under eight U.S. presidents.

vacuums up the dirt

The life and career of America’s “top cop”, J. Edgar Hoover, whose tenure as Director of the FBI lasted more than fifty years, is here presented in this docudrama style film by maverick director and writer Larry Cohen, with a solid A and B list cast of actors. Focusing on Hoover the man and the Director, the film seeks to portray his psychology and ruthless tactics, as well as his confrontations with presidents and other national figures. There’s Hoover the small minded closeted homosexual prude and Hoover the ruthless power hungry force, a weird and dangerous combination that wielded unchecked power for decades from his office. With James Wainwright playing the younger Hoover, who takes over a struggling and demoralized FBI and remakes its public image with publicized staged arrests and the use of gossip monger Walter Winchell who proved to be his eager accomplice. The later, older Hoover morphs into Broderick Crawford, and has now become embedded in the job, impossible for any President to force out. The uniqueness of the film lies in the Cohen style which is as evident here as it is in Q or any other of his films. It definitely isn’t Hollywood, though the faces are.

Quote:
The storyline of this movie involves a series of motiveless murders committed by various New York residents: a sniper shoots people from a water tower; a father murders his entire family; and a cop (Andy Kaufman) opens fire during a St. Patrick’s Day parade. The only consistent pattern to the crimes involves the perpetrators calm admissions of guilt, explaining, “God told me to.” While investigating the murders, catholic police detective Peter Nicholas (Tony Lo Bianco) is increasingly troubled by evidence of a Christ-like figure named Bernard Phillips (Richard Lynch) who appeared to each of the killers and can’t seem to shake the feeling that his own fate is somewhat linked to this mysterious being. As he comes closer to the truth, his worst fears are confirmed.

Fans of Larry Cohen’s often-outrageous work might be surprised by how user-friendly Perfect Stranges is. The high-concept premise of a hitman trying to seduce the mother of a child who witnessed his most recent kill would be a perfect subject for a glossy Hollywood thriller. Thankfully, Cohen’s singular style ensures that he doesn’t get bogged down in mainstream boredom: there are interesting subplots dealing with feminist politics and divorce that add some interesting themes to flesh out the premise. Cohen’s no-frills, almost documentarian directing style works wonders with his script, giving it a genuine “New York” flavor and a rawness that enhances the film’s unpredictable feel. He also pulls off a few nice suspense setpieces, the best a creepy moment that involves a swing set. In short, Perfect Strangers is one of Larry Cohen’s most underrated achievements and subtle enough to appeal to those who wouldn’t normally go for his style of filmmaking.
