Review of Hoffa (1992) by Luis M — 28 Jul 2011

I just saw "Hoffa" for the first time. This movie is cinematic crap (actually, cinematic is too much a nice word to attach it in any way to this film). Nicholson's over-dramatic acting is not convincing nor genuine; it's more like cardboard, Hallmark self-conscious sentimemtality.

He knew he was doing his possible worst movie ever. The music is muzak's nightmare, shallow and overly dramatic and kitsch. Cinematographically speaking, its problem is not that it wants to be ambitiuos (nothing wrong with that), but that the camera angles are repetitive, monotonous and unreal.

Crapola, pure crapola.
