Review of Hoffa

Hoffa (1992)
8/10
An Incomparable Epic
27 August 2006
Danny DeVito produced an incomparable epic in the bio-pic of James Riddle Hoffa who came to symbolize the struggle for the workingman for a place in the sun, contrary to another reviewer, thwarted not by those evil republicans of the time but by the impeccably liberal kennedy family which dogged Hoffa with repeated charges until one stuck.

true hoffa made many bargains with the mob which circumstances required to attain a balance in the bargaining position with management. but of course the kennedy family came up bootlegging and stock swindling, giving them the touch of liberal elegance.

Hoffa's final speech that he brought the workingman into the middle class sums up his entire career.
