A great film with a brilliant cast May 12, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If one of your interests is the john gotti story then you have to see this film.Armande Assante is brilliant as the notorious mobster.Ok it doesnt get everything right but you can forgive it.It starts off when john is the acting capo of carmine faticos crew and then tells the story of his rise to the top of the gambino family, upsetting a few people on the way(paul castellano).The depiction of sammy the bull isnt great, it makes him out to be a psychopath who enjoys killing.With great inputs from anthony quinn,william forsythe and dominic chianese this is a truly great film.it's well worth the watch especially if u are a john gotti fan.Im only giving it 4 stars because of the few untrue parts in the film otherwise it would be 5.WATCH IT....
 on the case it says "a worthy companion to goodfellas" and...I AGREE! January 21, 2007

I'm actually quite suprised at the relative lack of awareness about this film, well in comparison to other popular mob films. I'm an avid fan of mob films and having read several books on the Gambino crime family I thought this would be an interesting buy-sure was!
My review: Firstly, the cast is simply brilliant- especially Armand Assante. His potrayal of John Gotti is a good reflection of the man himself. It becomes evident that the film is very well researched, which is a real bonus. I was so enticed when watching the film that i didn't realise the 104minutes fly by. The film is sharp, funny at times and very accurate. It leaves you with that feeling of "damn, this really happened, there really was a mafia- there really was a John Gotti"
In my honest opinion, I probably enjoyed the film more than the average viewer because of my fascination with the mafia, however, i would definately recommend to this most of you. It takes pride of place in my film collection, somewhere between Donnie Brasco and A Bronx Tale
A gripping tale of one of the most famous Mafia Godfathers September 7, 2000

This is a superb movie of the rise and fall of John Gotti alias the Teflon Don, so called because the US Goverment could never make any allegations stick. Superb performances by Armand Assante as John Gotti and a supporting role by Anthony Quinn as his Mentor Neil Delacroce. While not as violent as Goodfellas, Gotti is the true story of life in the mafia. Armand Assante gets the balance of the evil and human sides of John Gotti just right, His menacing performance had me glued to the chair. I wouldnt rate this movie quite in the same league as Goodfellas or Donnie Brasco, but if your a Mafia film fan dont miss it.
Fascinating insight that keeps you glued to your seat...! June 19, 2001

This video is magic from the very beginning with the innovative title sequence giving some insight to the structure of this amazing family. John Gotti is portrayed beautifully by Armand Assante and with the late Anthony Quinn as his advisor how can the film go wrong! You are carried along through the political and economic machinations of the various crime families and although Gotti is an outright villain - you can't help but, in some ways, admire him. The film doesn't use any of the gratuitous violence of Goodfellas or Donny Brasco where you sometimes feel 'Is this degree of overt violence and blood really necessary?' In many ways the film uses the more psychological and powerful undercurrents of violence so beautifully seen in 'The Godfather'. A thoroughly enjoyable watch and one that will stay with you for some time afterwards -especially when you think that John Gotti is still locked away!
