Movie Reviews of Gotti: The Rise and Fall of a Real Life Mafia Don

Movie Review: "Gotti" Review
Summary: 4 Stars

As we all know by the other reviews, this movie isn't 100% accurate. Other than that, it was a great movie! You can find it for $5 now, even! It's well worth the watch, plus this is a movie all mafia-fans should have in their collection! I would recommend buying this one!

Movie Review: The Rise & Fall Of A Reale Life Mafia Don
Summary: 4 Stars

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 powerful
A Absolute must have fore mobster-movie fans and armand assante fans

Movie Review: I loved the movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I think this was a sleeper, Anthony Quinn should have gotten a supporting actor award for this!! I haved owned it for 3 months and I would say I watched it 10 times. Worth the price

Movie Review: entertaining fiction
Summary: 3 Stars

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.

Movie Review: With you till the 3 Stars

It's a notable rise and fall of New York crime boss John Gotti a.k.a The Dapper Don. The Dapper Don's rise through the ranks of the Gambino crime family, was first through the support of his mentor, and then through a bold ass assassination of Paul,The Gambino's current boss.

Gotti is the man...New Yorkers all love him! He's changing the rules of the family, as well as making the news and the cover of magazines. "Man of the Year!"

Gotti's world comes crashing around him as his arrogance over beating the government on a rico charge, as well as his thirst for the limelight.

The Dapper "Don" is caught on tape revealing Sammy as a notorious killer. I told ya'll men talk 2 much! Loose lips Sammy gets up on the stand an co-signs with the man against Gotti! Wouldn't you know it...mob underboss, reputed murderer steps to the stand and corroborates.

The Don is doing LIFE.....Fed joint in Chi~town

It was okay, not explosive...
