Seen it before and I was very interested the entire move
I was bored and couldn't get into this movie. I think it was because it was just like every other mob movie I've seen - there was nothing unique about it.
Absolutely awesome movie, and one Incredible performance by Assante.
Listen VERY carefully to the speech that you hear at the beginning and end of the movie, becasue the last part it true.
Great movie all around.
Gotti is very well produced and offers some very solid performances. It's polished, first-person perspective flows like an extended "Sopranos" episode.

Scott Cohen plays brother to John Gotti, and he's got steamy Pacino-like intensity. This Gotti family is like if Sonny were elevated to the top, and Michael were his lieutenant. Very intense, and fulfulling when the Teflon Don finally gets it in the end.
I remember a film called "Getting Gotti" with the extremely bad Lorraine Bracco which I'm sure was dire. However, "Gotti" is a lot better. It tells the true story of Mob kingin, John Gotti (Assante) and follows his rise and fall from the mid 1970s to his imprisonment in the 1990s...( read more)
Armand Assante is such a great actor. It puzzles me why his body of work hasn't been greater.
everybody needs to see this movie for real its about the gangsta of gangstas the boss
awsome story also about the real life Don of the mob in new york 1970 to 1988
