The film tells the story of Jimmy Hoffa in a refreshingly honest way. [25 Dec 1992]

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.

For all the care and craftsmanship that have gone into Hoffa, it's a superficial film. [25 Dec 1992]

The film is finally impersonal, almost anonymous; it's a chilly, lumbering project that carries little of the mark of lived experience. [25 Dec 1992]

Hoffa might have been - should have been - at least ambiguous about its controversial hero. [25 Dec 1992]

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 who seems more like a stock Jack Nicholson character. [25 Dec 1992]

The movie is a corpse. It's a fish that stinks from the head. They ought to bury it in the Jersey Meadowlands. [25 Dec 1992]
