Hoffa

The actors were perfect for the roles.I have always wondered what really happened to Hoffa...its sad that his body was never found.🤔

Great product and service.

Excellent True Story in History

Very good movie! My wife and I really enjoyed it!

Received this underrated piece of cinematic gangster cinema. Really happy with the quick delivery.

I love older movies

One of my favorite movies! Watch it every Labor Day. Wish we had a man like Hoffa today!

A great film with superb acting based on the true life events of Jimmy Hoffa. I especially liked the beginning of the film when the Idle Hour Laundromat was fire bombed by Jimmy, Bill, and DeVito. This stark symbolism sets the tone for the movie as the building goes up in an explosion and fireballs. Billy is severely burned and eventually dies of his injuries. While on his death bed, Billy tells the Priest nothing, but DeVito always tells the story that Billy said something nasty to the Priest, but I could not hear what was said, but it is evident that Billy is no rat, so to speak. So we have the Idle Hour going up in flames, Billy saying nothing on his death bed, and Hoffa paving the way for the formation of the Teamsters. The rest of the movie is about the formation of the Teamsters with strikes, Scabs, and busting heads to see this thing through, to fight for the common man. It's all about the money, as a pension is formed to the tune of 200 million, and then the mob moves in to borrow from the pension. Hoffa and the mob are bedfellows, with Robert "Bobby" Kennedy, as Attorney General trying to tie Hoffa to the mob, racketeering, and theft. It's an excellent movie, set in a time of radical change, with the assassination of John F. Kennedy, mob connections, lots of money, and the eventual hit that takes out Hoffa. His body has never been found to this day. I highly recommend this movie, and if you want to learn more about the true events, buy the book, "I Heard You Paint Houses." On a historical note, Jimmy Hoffa never smoked or drank, and did not like people around him who did smoke.

Clearly it's a Danny DeVito labour of love which didn't exactly meet with universal acclaim from the critics, but personally I think it's a great film, with excellent performances from Jack Nicholson and Danny himself. The fledgling Teamsters Union and it's rise is shown in great detail, not to mention Hoffa's encounters with the Kennedy administration.Great direction, sweeping scenes, and even though no-one knew what truly happened at the story's end, this account is as good as any.In short, if you haven't already, see it. A must for any collection.

The bottom line is: watch out when mingling with mafia. At lest this is what the end of this movie suggests, even if Hoffa's actual disappearance remains a mystery.Jack Nickolson is clearly great in this role, but I was particularly impressed by Danny de Vito (who also directed the movie) that, for once, plays a serious role.It is a very good movie - recommended even if it is a bit long.

A classic. Brilliant actors and plot. A great watch.

Excellent film, with terrific performances by Nicholson and de Vito. The good, the bad and the ugly from the life of an American working class icon. And a cracking good watch as well!

It was ok ...I would watch it once to find out what might have happened to Hoffa. Unique ending
