Slow at first but picks up in the second half!

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2019)

**Spoilers**
With a legendary casting, people had high expectations from this movie.
First half of the movie is very slow but essential to the movie plot. People outside USA might find it difficult to connect since movie had historical and people references.
Second half is more on relationships between all these characters. And also movie runs much fast compare to first half.
Coming to plot, it's a great plot.
The first phase: Focused on building di niro and joe pesci's character.
Second phase: Pachino enters in movie after 50 minutes of the movie. More focused on union politics. It ends with hoffa going to jail.
Third phase: From this point movie runs bit faster and become interesting . Hoffa is released and want his old position with the help of Frank and Russel. More on friendship and brotherhood among these three.
Fourth phase: Building of climax. Russel and Frank are about to kill hoffa. Frank is unhappy. He dont want to betray hoffa. But it is necessary for their own life.
After killing hoffa movie shows a relationship between an old frank and his daughter who dont talk to him anymore.

Acting is top. Direction is top. Some people might feel the movie is long but such movie demands 2 viewings to get some missed points.
