This is anabsurd notion, cheapening the fact that this was the leader of theGamino family, a major organization, and not of a high school project or small fry association.On the other hand, the legal implications of the underlyingoperations runs by Gotti, are well demonstrated, in theirseriousness, definitiveness, and far-reaching potential, inparticular, of the RICO statutes in catching, convicting and imprisoningalleged organized criminals.At the end of the day, perhaps what did Gotti in, was his massmedia prominence, exposure and macro and micro influence in societywhich threatened its integrity, risking creating millions ofnegative copy-cat, non-compliant behavior of normal citizens, somethingthat could not be tolerated by the elite or by the majority at large.On the other band, the recession of 2008 in the USA, economicfailures and misconduct of Wall St. organizations and thevictims of the war in the Middle East, ( since the turn of thedecade), is as serious, if not more, than organized crime,yet. Gotti (1996) (TV), is informative to the extent that it is able totell a string to facts about the unfolding of the Gotti story inthe 1980's and 90's.Not being an scholar, taken at face value, a lot of what this HBOproduction tells, is apparently accurate and factual.For example, indeed, on Sep. gets a free pass simply because the integrity of society isnot at risk, nor does running the printing presses with fiatcurrency, and indebting future generations (who have no voicetoday) result in any protests today.In sum, the movie's script is somewhat shaky, by making thesuccess of Gotti seem too easy, too juvenile, too simple, taken forgranted. as if anyone who is trigger-happy is only a step away frommaking a million dollars when that is anything but the case. 29, 1986, TIME magazine featured Gottion the front page.Also, the testimony of Sammy the Bull is public, and as such, wouldnot require much imagination to weave into the script of thismovie the the script writer.Also, a fair amount of detail seems to match what is seen in anothermovie, Boss of Bosses starring Chazz Palminteri.If there are weak points in the work, it would be the excessswearing on camera, as well as the juvenile, introverted dialogthat is often shown on screen, as if Gotti was unable to see thingsfrom any other point of view or angle, than his own. Astreet killer with a pistol does not a millionaire make.
It tells the story of John Gotti, as much as we know about it, from beginning to end. Action, drama, a lot of emotion. The movie was made while Gotti was still alive and before Sammy 'The Bull' got into trouble again and ended up back in prison. I stayed glued to the film the entire time. You will see every actor on The Sopranos in this film. It is totally real, totally believable. Armand Asante IS John Gotti.
The photography is outstanding. He has his look, voice and mannerisms down pat. This is one of the best written, best acted films I've ever seen on the Mafia. It is a real keeper.
GOTTI is a exelent mobster movie one of the best i`v seen, armand assante`s appearance is not only explosive & rich but also verry powerfulA Absolute must have fore mobster-movie fans and armand assante fans
Armand Assante becomes John Gotti right before your eyes. The acting was great, the story was great, the movie was great. A real 5 star movie. This movie was great. It's up there with "Goodfellas" and "Casino". If you love mafia movies, this is one you should have in your collection.
Assante and Quinn both were very good in their roles. The movie had its moments some of the dialogue was hard to understand but the acting was fine. It's worth buying if your into mafia movies.
