Gotti

Rating:
Summary: A Friend of Ours
Review: This movie is great! I saw it when it originally aired on HBO and have watched the VHS version repeatedly. Gotti was a man who couldn't help but draw attention his way. Unfortunately he drawed the attention of law enforcement as well! For those who didn't follow Gotti's trial(s) and life closely here is a trivia fact for ya----Armand Assante was a friend of John Gotti and was even at his trial to support him. So his performance is based on first hand knowledge.

Summary: There's better!
Review: This movie was kind of disappointing. I gave it three stars just cause I love mafia movies and it is watchable. Get WITNESS to The MOB instead.

Summary: Great Biography
Review: Whoever said that they DANG NEAR think that that is how Gotti was then they r wrong. You dont become the most respected and powerful boss of the Gambino crime family in this day and age by nickle and dime hustling. Im sure he did 99% of what happened in the movie. This is a great movie about how Gotti became who he was, and how he created the largest coppa regime in the US.

Summary: Mediocre HBO movie
Review: Yes, it's a low budget mafia movie...Okay...Okay...Maybe all mafia movies are low budget, but what I mean to say is that no big gunshot scenes, nothing like that goes on in this one. Nevertheless it's got a good storyline...and the fact that it's based on a true story definitely helps. If anything, Armand Assante carries this movie through, the other actors have done better in other movies, but I cant say I've seen Armand assante in a better role than this, he definitely made this whole movie watchable. Truth is that the more you see the movie the better your opinion of it will be. It's one of those that grows on you.
