Excellent film about a trade union leader who gets involved with the mafia in order to settle certain matters. Based on the life of James Hoffa, the film certainly knows how to captivate. The whole outfit is fine. Nice camera work and also nicely edited (although it is sometimes a bit fragmentary). Jack Nicholson does a great job in the title role. A narrow 4.0 stars.
