Like the JFK assassination, the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa will be forever shrouded in mystery. The ending to this film is just as good a theory as any other.
But you don't watch this film for facts. You watch it for the great performance of Jack Nicholson. You also watch it for the very good performances of Danny DeVito and Armand Assante.
True or not, it was a good story written by David Mamet (Wag the Dog, The Verdict, Ronin) about the rise of Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters, and his deal with the devil to accomplish his goals.
Fans of Robert Kennedy will not be pleased.
