'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.

7/10 Mob Movie, John Travolta It wasn't great but it was okay. All these other reviews are being dramatic. Show some respect to John Travolta.

Casting of Gottis Crew was Terrible. Actor who played Angelo was fat and bald not convincing at all. The other older Actor who played Gottis friend was ugly and downright creepy. Why did they not have younger more intimidating mob people who actually look like they could beat you up! Awful just awful looking at 60 year-old men acting and pretending to be 30 is gross Kevin Connolly was way over his head. Music selection was horrible. Pitbull had to have been a producer or had some money involved in an entertainment group that helped put this movie together and one of his conditions was his songs would be in the movie.

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.
