A good movie

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick. I have to confess, when I saw it, I was very young and I didn’t even know who the hell was Jimmy Hoffa. In fact, the main reason why I wanted to watch this flick is that Jack Nicholson was playing the lead. Well, even though I didn’t know who the hell this guy was, I thought it was actually a really decent drama with another solid performance by Nicholson. At the end of the day, the fact that I didn’t know who Hoffa was probably made the whole thing ever more compelling to watch since everything told in this story was actually completely new to me. I have to admit it, the way they decided to tell the story through Danny DeVito’s character was actually pretty weak and the whole thing never managed to became really mind-blowing but, still, thanks for a Nicholson in top shape and a fascinating historical figure, I thought it was still compelling to watch. To conclude, even though it might not be a masterpiece, I thought it was a pretty good biographical drama and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
