Gotti Reviews
Mob movies can make for great cinema. But, curiosity isnt by itself worthy of art, which makes Gotti more informational than good.

A Gotti awful mess.
| Original Score: .5/4.0 | Sep 9, 2020
It's the Gigli of gangster movies, something astoundingly incoherent that strikes that fatal balance of boredom and unintentional humor that's virtually impossible to recommend.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 24, 2020
This biopic is always in a rush, establishing plot points here and there, but never explaining any of them. [Full review in Spanish]

Pretty much everything is off in this biopic.
| Original Score: 0/10 | Feb 26, 2019
This love letter to the Gotti family combines a half-dozen framing devices, nonsensical time jumps, copious news footage, straight-to-camera narration, and a bullet point story structure into an indecipherable, unwatchable, excruciating mess of a movie.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 29, 2019
They've delivered a dish that's somehow burnt and cold, bland and over-spiced.

The best So Bad It's Good movie of 2018, if not of the entire decade.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jan 7, 2019
'Listen to me, and listen to me good. You never gonna see another guy like me if you live to be five thousand,' Travolta's Teflon Don boasts in the final scene. With any luck, we'll never see another mob-movie misfire like this either.

An incoherent jumble not unlike that of puzzle pieces thrown together in a bag, shaken up, and heaved on the screen in an astonishing display of haphazard incompetence.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Dec 22, 2018
Deciding what GOTTI's biggest misdeed, though? Easy. Being deadly dull.

Not a single shred of complexity or competence. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3.2/10 | Nov 5, 2018
Gotti is The Room of mob movies.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Oct 29, 2018
It's a shame Connolly didn't quit while he was behind. All Gotti has going for it is a characteristically energetic Travolta, and without him, it's dead on arrival.

The story, despite having a prominent American crime figure as an object of inspiration, is unable to create interest because of multiple aspects. [Full Review in Spanish]

It had serious casting issues...maybe it's too soon for them to actually be releasing this movie, and it's too close to everything going down?
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2018
I almost want to give it no rating, because it's almost not even a movie.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2018
You cannot say a subject never deserves a movie. No doubt John Gotti could be the focus of a great crime drama. But with this Gotti crime doesn't pay.
| Aug 26, 2018
A colossal dumpster fire mess of a movie that is stringed together by a terrible script and tired gangster film tropes.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 24, 2018
By treating its murderous subject as an unambiguous hero, it does what gangster films have been falsely accused of doing for decades: glorifying mobsters (Broad Street Review)
| Original Score: 0/5 | Jul 12, 2018
