Entertainment Reviews:
...A stirring, provocative exposé of the uses and abuses of power...
Rolling Stone
Hoffa, with its jaundiced script and a director wedded to his rose-tinted spectacles, is a mess, with only the sterling truculence of Nicholson's performance to mitigate it.

...[DeVito] is very assured... -- 3 out of 4 stars
USA Today
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Hoffa shows DeVito as a genuine filmmaker. Here is a movie that finds the right look and tone for its material. Not many directors would have been confident enough to simply show us Jimmy Hoffa instead of telling us all about him.

Rating: 5/5 --
A hugely underrated, passionate, powerful biopic.
San Francisco Examiner
With Jack Nicholson as the star and playwright David Mamet writing the script, Hoffa sounds unbeatable. But the movie is a major disappointment.

Rating: 7/10 --
Nicholson's intense, volcanic performance saves this part-fact, part-fiction biopic that's a little too in awe of its subject.
