Scorsese was like let’s do one more for old times sake

shytt looked flabby as hell tho (the scene at the grocery store)

Can't believe nobody saw how terrible that looked.

Wait so what was the fish? I'm confused.

Movie was too long

I think it was salmon in real life

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Time breh

people barely remember that Jimmy Carter was a president and he’s still alive

Younger generations generally don't care about the past

Dude from "Public Enemies" that played Joe Provenzano aka "Joey Pro"...did his thing. I fux wit dude...

De Niro... but solid and classy performance, nonetheless. Father-time is undefeated unfortunately...

The star of the movie IMO...Joe "muthafukkin" Pesci...aka Russell Buffalino...

Pesci killed the mob boss goon role as usual. Subtle, ruthless, swag on tilt, wit the mob shades all movie. Overall, the most believable, period...

I enjoyed this, but some are ranking this over Goodfellas?

Is it the newness?

Reminds me when popeyes dropped a chicken sandwich a few weeks ago and folks forgot how good and consistent that chic fil a sandwich had been for decades.....lol


^^^^I'm just having fun with that part, dont kill me.

 

[Human Torch]

70 mins in...I’m fukking with it so far

People overreact like fukk when movies like this drop. Movie was just okay. It was very slow, tedious and boring. The acting was absolutely superb, though. Thought it was a wasted performance by Pacino and Pesci. I'll watch it again, just for Pacino's performance, but better than goodfellas, casino, shutter island, gangs of New York? Absolutely not.

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

Yeah I’m from the Midwest so I def know
Watched Hoffa for the first time the other day too

 

[lamont614]

Has anyone watched Hoffa?

stared Jack Nicholson directed by Danny devito
Any characters the same ?

 

[JodyHiighroller]

Just got done watching it again with the fam tonight.

Solid 5/10

 

[lamont614]

He shoulda just zoomed in like this. But Bob probably was tired as fukk. He shoulda just edited that part out or got a stunt dbl. Horrible.

I understand why bo studio would give them 100mil for this. Shyt woulda tanked at the box office

It would have broke even at the worst they only had it in 300 theaters and it still made 4 million


I seen it at 8pm on a Sunday night and it was sold out

"He said that? You sure he said that?"

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

That scene in the diner with Hoffa and Pro..
