Reviews

robfcor I have watched 'Gotti' over 100 times. If you like quotable dialog you will love this movie. It is one of my all time favorite movies of any genre. Armand Assante is awesome as John Gotti. If it wasn't an HBO movie I believe Assante would have been nominated for an academy award. Anthony Quinn is also excellent as Neil. The dialog is spoken in a hastened Queens/Brooklyn accent so turn the subtitles on so you don't miss any lines. This movie has become a cult favorite in my circle of movie fanatic friends. It is on par with Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Carlito's Way and the like. If you liked these films you should like 'Gotti' as well.

Grant_is_187 My friend recommended this movie to me and said this one of the best Mafia movies I would ever see, its no Godfather now but he told me to give it a shot. So I did. I seen the movie and I was in wow. Considering the fact this guy was like the President. He got away with everything and the people loved him and every part of the movie was true about him made this movie a favorite.9/10

vlad-88 This movie isnt worth the rental. It takes the story and twists it into something it just never was. The characters are way out of line. The only actor that can act in this movie is the guy playing Gotti. The rest are horrible especially the guy playing Gravano. Poor casting as Sammy the Bull is taller than Gotti in this movie. Gotti is one of those mob movies where all the characters seem like guys in the local diner pretending to be mobsters. They just lay it on to thick and contrived and they look ridiculous. The makers of this flick just dont get it. That Compared to movies like Casino and Goodfella this movie "Gotti" is very poor. If it was on TV I'd have changed the channel. The fact that I rented it made me stick thru it. WHen you give crap like this good revues you must be really bored. I cant in all honesty tell anyone this flick is worth the time. Even the Sopranos is better than this, and the Sopranos is pretty damn bad gangster acting. They should have done more research and put a little effort into casting and script.

Al-164 This HBO biopic of Gambino family head John Gotti is a tolerable piece of junk. The performances are uniformly unremarkable, that includes the star(Assante)and the token "Veteran Star"(the formerly great Anthony Quinn). Second of all absolutely no-one in the cast looks like who they play,whats with Paul Castellano being 800 pounds?! The script is cardboard at best,"Mafia=Pure unadulterated evil, FBI=Living Saints". And just when you thought it could'nt get anymore third rate, the movie starts to think it's on the level of "Goodfellas", and at times "The Godfather". In the end the only thing that saves this thing from being a total waste is the fact that it tells a truly interesting story, although not well.
