The boldness of director Danny DeVito's violent epic is matched by Nicholson's astonishing physical and vocal transformation into Jimmy Hoffa.
Hoffa is an original work of fiction, based on fact, conceived with imagination and a consistent point of view.
If Hoffa is supposed to be an intimate portrait of the labor leader, it never gets much beyond painting a murky picture of a one-note Johnny who seems more like a stock Jack Nicholson character. [25 Dec 1992]
For all the care and craftsmanship that have gone into Hoffa, it's a superficial film. [25 Dec 1992]
Despite Jack Nicholson's galvanizing portrayal, Hoffa is a cold, remote, neo-religious pageant.
The movie is a corpse. It's a fish that stinks from the head. They ought to bury it in the Jersey Meadowlands. [25 Dec 1992]
Hoffa is the emptiest prestige picture of the year.
