There is good material to be made for a movie based on the infamous Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, but despite Jack Nicholson, this isn't the one.
I blame David Mamet's script and Danny Devito(?)'s direction for why we as an audience never get a satisfying hook to bite into this story, and dammit, when its Hoffa's story, its just wrong. You have mafia, Labor politics, fighting against a corrupt system, a legendary disapearance, you name it...and DeVito can't direct compelling cinema out of it?
