CinemaSerf on Hoffa

7/10 · Aug 26, 2023

The film presents a fascinating look at the internal conflicts within American politics during the 1960s. It focuses on the ascent of Jimmy Hoffa, the exceptionally captivating leader of the Teamsters Union (played by Jack Nicholson), and his ambition to transform the union into a significant political entity through any means available. With the help of his associate "Ciaro" (Danny DeVito), Hoffa aligns himself with organized crime figures (Armand Assante) before encountering Bobby Kennedy (Kevin Anderson), who is equally driven to ensure Hoffa's imprisonment. The accuracy of many details concerning their lives remains uncertain, but the portrayal itself is engaging, featuring two noteworthy lead performances and a brisk narrative rhythm. It also captures the political climate effectively. There’s an impression that, at first, Hoffa genuinely aimed to enhance the circumstances for his 1.8 million members, before a sense of invincibility seemed to take over. Director Danny DeVito suggests a possible resolution – the true fate of this influential figure remains unknown, and while the film's length is somewhat excessive, it’s still worthwhile viewing.
