Killing Jimmy Hoffa

Killing Jimmy Hoffa (2014)

*** (out of 4)

There have been countless documentaries made on the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. T his one here benefits from being the most recent, which means that it contains more up-to-date stories on the investigation into his murder.

The documentary starts out a tad bit slow as it covers the rise of Hoffa. I think there was just way too much information being given in a much too fast way and it just comes across rather uninteresting. Things get a lot better once we get to the day of his disappearance as we get footage from the last location that Hoffa was seen and we also get archival news clips from the story breaking.

Several Mafia experts are interviewed with their ideas of what happened that day and we're also given the various theories of what the FBI and others believe happened. We also get to go over the confessions that have been made over the past few years. If you're interested in the aftermath of Hoffa's disappearance then this is a pretty good documentary. You certainly get a lot of information on the matter but in the end you realize that it's probably a mystery that will never fully be resolved.
