Realistic real-life drama, 29 March 2003
Author: Wainscoat from Holland

Gotti tells the story of John Gotti, the head of the Gambino family and the most well-known mafia boss in America.

The story is very interesting and the acting is good. Especially Armand Assante (Hoffa) and Anthony Quinn (The Message) are very convincing. Mr. Assante is definitely a better John Gotti than Tom Sizemore, who played John Gotti in Witness to the Mob. Some scenes are action packed and a couple of times even my adrenaline did go faster, not super fast, like in Scarface or Heat, but just fast enough. The directing and editing could have been much better but it was certainly not bad for a TV-Film.

I really had a great time while watching this film. It's really one of the better ones about real-life mafia boss John Gotti. Try to catch it on cable or DVD.

RATING: 6,5/10
