'Listen to me, and listen to me good. You never gonna see another guy like me if you live to be five thousand,' Travolta's Teflon Don boasts in the final scene. With any luck, we'll never see another mob-movie misfire like this either.

Flavorwire

A comically terrible imitation of a biopic, directed by Kevin Connolly with all the flair and nuance of a movie-within-a-movie on 'Entourage.'

What the Flick?!

He looks distractingly terrible at every stop...You never forget that you are watching John Travolta playing John Gotti every time.

Rated: 1/10

Mob movies can make for great cinema. But, curiosity isnt by itself worthy of art, which makes Gotti more informational than good.

It's the Gigli of gangster movies, something astoundingly incoherent that strikes that fatal balance of boredom and unintentional humor that's virtually impossible to recommend.

Rated: 1/5

This movie is terrible. The acting is atrocious. The music is a joke. Who plays pitbull in a movie rein-acting one of the most famous gangsters in history. Travolta is a JOKE in this movie. Anybody who likes this movie has poor taste in gangster films. The 1996 Gotti movie is impeccable compared to this. The worst was seeing the kid who played Gottis son. Easily one of the worst performances I’ve seen in a gangster film. Everyone was trying way too hard. That’s why this is rated 0% by critics. One of the top 5 worst movies I’ve ever seen and I’ve never been so critical on a movie. When you’re portraying the most famous person in the 1980’s you should take some pride in your role.

Terrible, the cast in this is absolutely horrible, especially Quack Quack. Same with sledge hammer as Uncle Neil. Armand Asante made this movie right with all the wise guys that are known actors and street guys or wise guys turned actors. John T should stick to giving massages.

My husband and I actually liked this movie and love John Travolta. We love these kind of movies. Don't get why people don't like it. It's good.

Entertaining throughout. A+ performances. Regardless of any other critiques, it's an enjoyable watch on the basis of Travolta's acting alone. Combined with solid storytelling (although the film seems short/rushed and could be split into two or a show for improvement) it's absolutely worth your time and anything under 50% rating is mind-blowing.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I thought it was an okay movie. I wouldn't want to see it again. It's not bad. But it's not great either. I don't recommend seeing this movie.
