"'Hoffa' shows a man who lives, breathes, wakes, sleeps and dies for the union. (...) A movie that finds the right look and tone for its material (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | POS |
|
United States |
|
"The boldness of director Danny DeVito's violent epic is matched by Nicholson's astonishing physical and vocal transformation into Jimmy Hoffa." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"It is a laconic, enigmatic piece of work, displaying the grace with spoken language that marked 'Glengarry Glen Ross' but troublesome in terms of structure and character development." | NEU |
United Kingdom |
|
"[It] paints an intriguing portrait of a complex and angry man while effectively exploring his uses and abuses of power" | POS |
|
United States |
|
"This grimly ambitious biopic goes no deeper than that, offering hardly a trace of psychology, motivation or inner life." | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"If Hoffa is supposed to be an intimate portrait of the labor leader, it never gets much beyond painting a murky picture of a one-note Johnny" | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"Hoffa is the emptiest prestige picture of the year" | NEG |
