Moviecut—Gotti: The Rise and Fall of a Real Life Mafia Don

Gotti

The movie captures a type of upbeat spirit for the first half of the movie. We simply see an aspect of John Gotti's life through his lens. A lot of times upbeat music is played whether in different clubs or just as background matching Gotti's confident personality. Respected by his peers who say his reputation precedes him. The Teflon Don is on top of the world. Even the public loves John. The level of adoration is intoxicating. You get a sense of why it would appeal to be in the mob, but it's not done in a way to glorify that lifestyle. This movie is a very light watch considering the genre where you normally see a lot of violence. This is more a drama about bonds and showing Gotti's charismatic personality. The way he probably viewed himself. So an unique movie with great performances.

This movie has a true story. 'Gotti' and 'Sopranos' has a lot of similarity. For example 'RICO Case' , asbestos waste , helpful FBI agents. Also, there are a lot of actor who play in these two movies. For example, Frank Vincent, Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore and Tony Sirico.

The slang, the walk, the charisma, Assante has it all. The movie takes you on the adventure of a mafia member from his low level days to him becoming the most powerful boss in the country.

H B O can make great movies. Well the casting, sets and script is excellent. Gotti has all the ingredients of the Sopranos series. Direction, dialogue, sets, and story cuts well, feels well and has an edge just like the Sopranos. Many of the cast are from the Sopranos. Many of the New York sets could of been used in the Sopranos. If you love The Sopranos you love Gotti. 8 stars.

A superb performance by Armand Assante as Gotti.A fast-paced exploration of the Gambino crine family of New York. The film focuses on the violent aspect of organized crime and the police operations to fight it and bring John Gotti to justice. This fact based drama is a powerful,disturbing saga of the Mafia in America. It is a tale of a iron willed Capo who later became the most powerful leader in American mob history. Gotti chose to live and die by the gun in order to reap vast fortunes and personal power,and of the plots they weave in the course of turning crime into a business.

Gotti is exceptional piece of film brought to the small screen,the cast is outstanding and nail biting stuff from the start to the very end. armand assante`s performance is so chilling as the dapper don,and it brings so much intensity leaving the audience compelled by this larger than life charismatic figure of the underworld.The dialogue is snappy and the onscreen chemistry between Assante`s portrayal of Gotti and Quinns as Neil dellacross is more than convincing.This film works well because it doesn't rely to much on violence as its predessors did in Goodfellas and others like casino.
