- Yeah, it was a stupid movie, and I would never have rented it if Jennifer
- Connelly wasn't in it. (Hey, at least I'm being honest) And yes, I thought
- Frank Whaley was pretty good in it. He also had a "cameo" in _JFK_ as one of
- Lee Harvey Oswald's dopplegangers, and plays a small, but pivitol role in
- _Hoffa_. He was very convincing.
-
- As to the person that asked about _Hoffa_ recently, I'd say YES! Go see it.
- I thought it was excellent, but don't expect more than a superficial covering
- of Jimmy Hoffa's life, there is not much personal depth. Luckily Jack
- Nicholson turns in a stunning performance.
