Action. Drama Biopic of John Gotti (1940-2002). The film reveals the relationship of a father who lived and died by the mob code and a son who, while brought up to lead a life of crime, chose to leave that world behind and redeem himself and the Gotti name. John Gotti was head of the Gambino crime family, which in its time was the largest and most powerful crime organization in the country.

	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"The film is pretty terrible: poorly written, devoid of tension, ridiculous in spots and just plain dull in others."	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"An incoherent mob biopic (...) It's a strange thing to say for a guy convicted of murder, but John Gotti deserved better than this amateurish biopic."	NEG
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"There’s an overall incoherence to the film’s structure, reinforced by the ridiculous age differences between actors"	NEG
United Kingdom	Ed Potton The Times	"Hoary old mafia-movie clichés and a lack of zing sink this dreadfully uninspired biopic (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"A dismal mess (...) 'Gotti' mostly incoherently bounces around the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"An entertaining and well-acted but uneven B-movie (...) 'Gotti' falls far short of capturing period-piece details (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Gary Thompson Philadelphia Inquirer	"It’s easy to lose your place in 'Gotti' (...) [It] ends up feeling like a kitschy assemblage of other directors’ ideas (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
