I probably held it to a different standard since I saw it on TV, but that's the only way anyone's going to see it. I didn't think it was terrible, just a straight telling of what a monster John Gotti was. I don't know what people wanted from it. We see him in prison still browbeating his family. We see him murder people. Nothing glaringly wrong with the movie but I can see why people didn't go for it.
I watched it because one of the stars, Spencer LoFranco who played Gotti's son, just died at 33, poor devil. Gotti was his last movie. I don't know if its failure sent him spiraling into drug addiction. He was pulling himself back together when he died. He had face tattoos removed and was going to take another stab at acting.
