Director/co-star Danny DeVito's unforgettable epic stars Jack Nicholson as Jimmy Hoffa, the legendary Teamster boss whose mysterious disappearance has never been explained. The film traces Hoffa's passionate struggle to shape the nation's most influential labor union, his relationship with the Mob, and his subsequent conviction and prison term at the hand of Robert Kennedy.

Hoffa revie

a great movie depicting the trial and tribulations of the working man, while being used by his employers, and ultimately used by the union heads in their quest for power.


Just a Note/not a review

This DVD version differs at least in one respect to the theatrical release....it deletes the scene where Hoffa is in prison and there is a discussion on the assisination of Kennedy..tho not blatant, the discussion seemed to implicate Hoffa and the Mob...and its odd that in the DVD added material following the movie there is a section title "excised scenes", but it does not mention this one....must have been some litigation involved....(not that the deleted scene detracts from the overall plot)...This movie deserved more critical acclaim..it was visually stunning and told a good story about a man who didn't fit your Hollywood stereotypes...

"You want to say thank you?? Say it to him"

"Hoffa" starring Jack Nicholson and Danny Devito is an entertaining film that seems to capture most of the life of the union boss who was Jimmy Hoffa. The setting, dialogue and wardrobe are all impeccable and the acting is top-notch as well. What I didn't like was both the pace of the film and that way in which the story flows.

In what feels to be an attempt to cram the man's life into a 2 hr 20 min movie, Devito whizzes the viewer through various random stages of Hoffa's life in the film's early going and sprinkles it with interruptions from what is to be the "current day" in the film. It's very difficult to grasp who is who and what is going on in the first hour of the film. Thankfully, it does slow down and as soon as Attorney General Bobby Kennedy is introduced to the plot, the films takes off.

I'm sure the ending is ficticious, as nobody has ever known what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, but it was creative and VERY believable. Also, I believe Danny Devito's character is ficticious as well.

Worth a rent. Not sure if I could sit through this one again though.
