Watched 1408 and it was so good. I love psychological thrillers like these so thanks for the recommending. I've watched another movie by the same actor titled "Identity" and it had same vibe as this one and that movie was made on one location as well.

Iron Eagle

Loved it when I was between the ages of like 8 and 11 and watched it probably 50 times.

Tried watching it as a 40-year old adult not too long ago and it was a giant piece of shit. Literally one of the dumbest movies with one of the dumbest plots I have ever seen.

In the book there definitely are cover-ups, >!Hale was mostly pretty careful to cover up his tracks, never going through the murders himself and often killing off co-conspirators he'd hired in what looked like routine accidents or paying off private eyes and witnesses to obfuscate the investigation. It took a while before Tom White and his men were able to detangle Hale's "plots within plots", it's not like they were just killing the Osages in public in broad daylight.!< But otherwise you're right, after J Edgar Hoover thought the FBI had done enough to make themselves look good they walked away and let everything else fade away to time.
