I'm not sure i've seen a worse mobster movie. Hard to portray a mobster when the man in question couldn't keep his own mouth shut.
Bear in mind I always thought the real life Gotti was my number 1 punching bag when it came down to trashing mobsters.
He is to organized crime as Isis is to any terror attack, claiming responsibility left right and center.
I understand the real life story could have made for some intriguing plot points and some decent filler for a film, but everything from the Son's death to Travolta's performance felt laughable, and the movie as a whole was all over the place. Are you supposed to like him, hate him?
Had this been a more low budget picture, I could forgive this poorly executed movie. Sadly this tried to be a box office motion picture when it should have gone straight to DVD or even TV movie. It's a movie I could see someone randomly changing tv stations stopping to see for a few minutes before realizing they were better off watching re-runs of some bad reality tv show.
Seriously E (Kevin Connolly) stick to what you were good at, it's clearly not directing.
