Customer Reviews of Gotti
entertaining fiction Armand Assante is effective, William Forsyth doesn't quite match the part physically but still entertains, Anthony Quinn is almost dead on as Neil Dellacroce, and Frank Vincent once again shines. The pace is crisp, the directing edgy and the production from a technical standpoint is done very well. If you're looking for an engaging mafia movie, you'll enjoy "Gotti" immensely.
But if you want a biopic of John Gotti, look elsewhere. This movie would best be described as "a movie inspired by the events of" or "based loosely on" the life of John Gotti.
Factual errors are too numerous to count. The murder of neighbor John Favara is pure fiction; so is Sammy Gravano's execution of his brother-in-law, the meeting between Gotti and Gravano, and the circumstances leading up to Angelo Ruggiero's death (Gotti never visited him in the hospital, much less fed him a cannoli by hand). Still, the characterizations were mostly on the mark. I was, though, profoundly disappointed with the choice for Bruce Cutler, and thought the Castellano actor was a bit too gruff for someone known as the businessman gangster.
If you can manage to put aside the details of the Gotti story and watch this movie for escapism, it's worth the time.
A Friend of Ours
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.
My Favorite Mafia Movie
I am a big fan of mafia movies and have seen at least 20 or more Mafia movies and this is my favorite over the classic. The lead actor does a great job playing Gotti and the other actors aren't too shabby either. The story is mostly true and is great drama. This isn't an action movie though, so don't expect gun fights and ect, but if your looking for a really interestting and compelling Mafia story I highly recommend you see this movie.
