Nicholson's Hoffa was a great movie. It's an alternate history, too. DeVito's "Bobby Ciaro" is pretty much based on Chucky O' Brien and several other Hoffa lackeys. Armand Assante is sort of a composite of Tony Pro and Tony Jack. This doesn't bother me because I don't go to movies for history. Movies are entertainment. Capturing the personalities is more important to a movie than getting facts straight.
Hoffa 1992. Written by David Mamet. Produced by Gambino soldier Joe Isgro. Reportedly a Nicholson pal.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
