'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.

| Dec 26, 2018

A comically terrible imitation of a biopic, directed by Kevin Connolly with all the flair and nuance of a movie-within-a-movie on 'Entourage.'

He looks distractingly terrible at every stop...You never forget that you are watching John Travolta playing John Gotti every time.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Jun 22, 2018

It's more run-of-the-mill than it is colossally misguided.

| Original Score: 1.2/10 | Jun 22, 2018

Gotti tries too hard to cram too much information into a small space, and you come away learning almost nothing about the man, other than the filmmakers feel he was a pretty stand-up guy.

| Original Score: D+ | Jun 18, 2018

You might think this sounds hilariously bad. It must be so bad it's kind of good, right? Wrong. Gotti is not remotely fun, even ironically.

| Jun 16, 2018

It's not a good movie. But the blame can't be laid at its star's Ferragamo-shod feet.

| Original Score: C | Jun 16, 2018

I'd rather wake up next to a severed horse head than ever watch "Gotti" again.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jun 16, 2018

Starring in this mobster biopic that deserves to get whacked is an offer Travolta should have refused. Insane testimonials from Gotti supporters at the end are as close as this s---show will ever get to good reviews.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 16, 2018

Gotti is a connect-the-dots disaster -- the don's greatest hits, so to speak -- without discernible theme or cohesive narrative.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jun 15, 2018

When Gotti tells viewers, speaking directly to the camera at film's end, that they'll never see another man like him, an attorney should really spring up and object that the statement assumes facts not in evidence.

| Original Score: D+ | Jun 15, 2018

Closing reportage of everyday New Yorkers brashly extolling Gotti's virtues upon his death, painting him, without any irony, as some kind of local hero, pretty much tells you where this picture's coming from.

| Jun 15, 2018

That the long-gestating crime drama Gotti is a dismal mess comes as no surprise. What does shock is just how multifaceted a dismal mess it is.

| Jun 15, 2018

He may have been a murderer, but even Gotti deserved better than this.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 15, 2018

Aside from the wardrobe and the makeup, "Gotti" falls far short of capturing period-piece details and never immerses us in the era.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 14, 2018

It's almost laughable to see this iconic star trying so hard on behalf of a movie that is so clearly compromised in its intentions.

| May 21, 2018

The problem is that it's not really anything. This is a strange thing to say about a notorious mob boss who was locked up for murder, but John Gotti deserved better.

| Original Score: D | May 16, 2018

The film is pretty terrible: poorly written, devoid of tension, ridiculous in spots and just plain dull in others.
