I understand being lost or put off if you don’t know anything about Hoffa.
But if you’re from a union household/from the Midwest (Detroit especially) or any other heavy unionized area you understand the power that man and that union had
this movie assumes that it’s audience is coming in with high level of general knowledge of Hoffa and Kennedy era politics.Which is good assumption to make because more likely than not the people who are checking for this are older/interested in that kind of thing.He wasn’t shooting for the Birdbox demographic
As a person who falls into the category of knowing the history of this I appreciate the lack of handholding the movie did ...if you’re coming in ignorant of this kind of shyt you might get left behind ....but ultimately that’s your fault

I thought sally wanted to sit in the back so he could choke out hoffa or chuckie/todd
Why isn't hoffa remembered nowadays? Everyone knew him in the 50 and 60's

Yeah I am pretty disappointed with this movie. Just dull as hell. The story is just not very compelling and just goes on and on. U said it the screenplay is weak sauce.
Pacino is over the top in this I just can't take him serious.
Deniro just doesn't really seem to be interested in acting. Idk, just something off about his performance but I just don't care about his character at all.
Everyone just being old af doesn't help either. Pesci looking like he ready to fall over dead at any time.
I see a lot of people are calling this classic but I don't think I would ever watch this movie again. I am not seeing the greatness here and no way in fukking hell is this on Goodfellas and casino levels people smoking crack saying that.
I was really looking forward to this movie but I have to be honest this wasn't it.
I really enjoyed it. Pesci was incredible. The CGI didn’t really bother me, “it is what it is”. The grocery store scene was funny though, Marty must have just said fukk it. The length was whatever, people binge watch shows for hours on end on Netflix, I don’t see why a lengthy movie on your couch should be a chore, maybe more so at a movie theater if you want to get up in the middle for whatever reason, but watching at home who cares if it’s on the long side?

It's all about the inches
I moved my rating down to 6.5/10 just cuz of this scene
Elvis and the beatles are still remembered though and hoffa was as famous as they were
Scorsese best work since Casino. He tried to make Decaprio his new Deniro but he just doesnt have it. Even a washer Deniro blows him out the water.
Wait so what was the fish? I'm confused.
Movie was too long
