Featured review
Ok so before I start I have to say that this movie is only really going to make sense to those who lived through the life and times of John Gotti. If you are looking for a mob movie like Goodfellas this is not for you. This is a story that would be impossible to tell in 2 hrs but the film did the best it could and I respect that.
First off, on a budget of about 10 million dollars I think that the producers did a hell of a job. Everyone who is critical of this film has to realize that it was made with not that much money. Travolta made this movie. His acting was great and it needs to be recognized. It lacks the starpower of other mob biopics etc. but the actors were okay. I did not really care for the part of John Gotti Jr. and feel like they could have gotten someone a little tougher looking to play the part.
It almost was a character booster to clear junior Gotti at some point that I can agree with. All in all for what it is it is a decent movie. This movie never stood a chance being reviewed by critics. If you wanna see a good acting job by Travolta and you are interested in John Gotti you will be happy. If you don't know anything about the mob or any backstory on its history you might as well sit this one out.
