Critics' reviews

"'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)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"The boldness of director Danny DeVito's violent epic is matched by Nicholson's astonishing physical and vocal transformation into Jimmy Hoffa."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"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."

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"[It] paints an intriguing portrait of a complex and angry man while effectively exploring his uses and abuses of power"

Danny Graydon: Empire
"This grimly ambitious biopic goes no deeper than that, offering hardly a trace of psychology, motivation or inner life."

Variety Staff: Variety
"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"

Peter Stack: SFGATE
"Hoffa is the emptiest prestige picture of the year"

Desson Howe: The Washington Post
