Reviews for Hoffa
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.
