Raised on the streets of New York, young John Gotti found his way into the Gambino crime family, eventually having the boss removed and becoming head of the powerful family. His wife asked only one thing from John: to never expose their children to his profession. But he broke the vow, and John Jr. took his place as his father's Capo.

'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.

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.

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

1/5

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.

I can see how when compared to other mob films like Goodfellas and The Godfather critics may not rate this one as high. However, it is still “entertainment” and honestly this one held my attention and I thought it was entertaining. I will agree that the modern tracks sounded off in a period piece however thought the Duran Duran song during Johnny Jr.’s arrest fit well.

Kevin…. Really? Putting songs into the movie from decades after Gotti died? Complete disaster bud.

This is a nothing movie guys I don’t find anything interesting here because is borderline nyquill ok is so boring that I kept my mind shut at this point which never happened to me in years, the fight scenes were terrible, the characters are complete waste of time and the movie insults you at the face.

This film feels like a lackluster Temu version of a John Gotti biopic. Although John Travolta as Gotti might be the only selling point, the movie itself is dull and poorly directed, with stale performances that disrespect the legacy of mob culture. Grading: D-
