Bruno Kirby's death two days ago brings to mind all his movies, including "Hoffa". Kirby only has a small, uncredited part in the movie, but the movie itself is something to focus on. I admit that I can't verify the movie's accuracy - especially the end - but this look at Teamsters Pres. Jimmy Hoffa (Jack Nicholson, doing a good job as always) is worth seeing, if only as a look at history. A particularly blood-freezing scene is when the thugs attack the workers. Equally good as Nicholson is director Danny DeVito as Hoffa's assistant Bobby Ciaro.
So, it's not the best movie for either man, but still worth seeing. It's weird to imagine Bobby Kennedy going after Hoffa like that. Also starring Armand Assante, J.T. Walsh, John C. Reilly, Frank Whaley, Robert Prosky, Richard Schiff, a cameo by Tim Burton, and even Jack Nicholson's daughter Jennifer in a brief appearance.
