Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Anna Paquin, Jesse Plemons
Jimmy Hoffa: You always charge a guy with a gun! With a knife, you run away.
Jimmy Hoffa: Would you like to be a part of this, Frank? Would you like to be a part of this history?
Frank Sheeran: Yes, I would. Whatever you need me to do, I'm available.
Jimmy Hoffa: I understand you're a brother of mine.
Frank Sheeran: Yeah, yeah. Glad to meet you.
Jimmy Hoffa: I heard you paint houses.
Frank Sheeran: Yes, I do.
Continuity mistake: When Hoffa is angry at the meeting bitching about the Kennedys Frank exits and puts his coat on. The collar is raised in the front shot and lowered in the angle shot from behind.
Trivia: This is only the third film in which Al Pacino and Robert De Niro appear together on-screen. The first two films are Heat (1995) and Righteous Kill (2008). They also both starred in The Godfather Part II (1974), but never appeared together on screen.
Question: I don't quite get how the Hoffa killing plays out. His son is there in the car, Frank and Jimmy go into the house, Frank shoots him, apparently not heard, then leaves the house...doesn't Chuckie Hoffa have questions? Like where his dad is for a start, let alone the gunshots he must have heard?

Chosen answer: First off his name was Chuckie O'Brian. Jimmy Hoffa wasn't his biological father, he was more in the nature of a foster father. Second, he probably knew what happened. What was Chuckie going to do? It was a sanctioned hit. And if he went to the police he would have ended up the same as Jimmy Hoffa. They put him in the middle of it to keep him quiet. If he goes after the people who did it, he's as good as dead. If he talks he could end up in jail with them, and the mafia will probably kill him anyway.
