Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the highest-rated original telefilm in HBO history at that time. The success of the film convinced HBO to cast Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore, Tony Sirico, Frank Vincent, and Frank Pellegrino in a series in development called The Sopranos (1999).
- GoofsThere's a shot of Manhattan, which is supposed to take place in 1973, however we can see a building from the World Financial Center which didn't exist in 1973 and the antenna on top of the north tower of the World Trade Center which wasn't there at the time. This is clearly a shot of the Manhattan skyline as it looked in the mid 1990s.

Featured review
Poor man's "Godfather"
This movie focuses a LOT more on just the actual man John Gotti rather than all the affect he has. Armand Assante is very convincing and did an excellent job acting. However, unlike The Godfather, this is a REAL story. That makes it all the more fun to watch. It's definitely worth watching if you're a gangster movie addict like me
It's definitely no Godfather, but if you're looking for something new...give it a shot
8/10
