An extremely underrated film. Well worth watching, again and again.

DeVito is blasting away with the audacity of a film student, making Hoffa an effort of extraordinary detail, craftsmanship, and directorial ingenuity.

A decent, but flawed movie. The performance by Nicholson is tremendous, and he really becomes Hoffa, but the rest of the film just isn't on the same level as he is. Unless you're a big fan of Jack, or particularly interested by Hoffa, pass.

Nicholson's intense, volcanic performance saves this part-fact, part-fiction biopic that's a little too in awe of its subject.

Raises many questions and gives no answers, but this shouldn't be mistaken for artistic ambiguity.
