Yes Martin Scorsese is blah blah blah but the story just doesn't justify it. 137 Million investment with only 8 million in revenue. I have to say the makeup was good but that was the only thing good about this movie.

oh, if you don't know J hoffa is, don't even bother watching this movie cause it wouldn't be worth it.
5/10
err...If you don't know who J Hoffa is, why don't you look it up afterwards on this amazing thing we have called the internet? I love movies about historical dramas which give me the impetus to go down the Wikipedia rabbit hole for a few hours in the middle of the night. I knew who Jimmy Hoffa was, but had no idea Robert de Niro's character was real as well.

Anyways I thought the movie was about an hour too long as well and the makeup/digital effects weren't as great as people are saying. I mean ffs, Bobby D's character is supposed to be in his mid-20s/early 30s during his first scenes with Joe Pesci....no fucking way
