man I thought Joe Peci stole the movie. IMO Paciano isn't Jimmy Hoffa, they should have looked at Michael Shannon but I think he was probably way too tall.

I know this will sound funny but I know people through the Locals I worked for (both Teamsters) that knew Hoffa and they say that Al was a better Hoffa than Jack was but they say that he was pretty close to the way Al portrayed him ,I wouldn't know and these guys are old as dirt so who knows if they remember him right or not. Still thought it was a great movie.

How did Pacino play Hoffa? As a hard ass Teamster willing to bust heads and kill and bribe his way to the top? Is it worth seeing?

This is a different movie then Nicholson's Hoffa ,that was more what the public saw this was more of what was going on in the background. This is a great movie at least I thought so, but long.
