Re: DeVito's direction of "Hoffa"

Danny DeVito's direction in "Hoffa" is only perfunctory...there is nothing like the zest he showed in "Throw Momma from the Train". Perhaps he was concentrating too much on his own performance, or making sure that Jack was comfortable. Perhaps he felt too constrained by the fact that he was directing a movie based on real people and real events (with the exception of how Hoffa died...that ALMOST noone knows about!). Perhaps the producers and studio were leaning on him to "smooth it out" and make a film about a man who challenged the president of the United States as "unedgy" as possible. Until DeVito gives his "end of career" interviews, we may never know why his direction of "Hoffa" is so spiritless!
