IMDB User Comments

A brotherhood built on solidarity. Look for the Union label. Directed and co-produced by Danny DeVito; this is a stern and brass knuckle look at the legendary Union boss James R. Hoffa, who disappeared in 1975. Jimmy Hoffa(Jack Nicholson) to many was a natural born leader. Many say he helped only himself as head of a very large and strong teamsters union. Albeit Hoffa remained devout to his cause and did not back down in his heated meetings with Robert Kennedy(Kevin Anderson). Danny DeVito gave himself the role of Hoffa's right hand man Bobby Ciaro. This may be Nicholson at his finest. DeVito also is outstanding in a meaty role. In support as Hoffa cronies are: J.T. Walsh, John C. Reilly and John P. Ryan. Armand Assante is powerful in the role of Carol D'Allesandro a 'big money' man in association with the crafty union leader. I can't praise Nicholson enough; an exceptional actor in a dynamic movie. David Mamet's demise of Hoffa is as good as any imagined.
