The Thoroughly Dismal Motion Picture Gotti Is A Poorly Put-Together Crime Drama

You'd think after Gotti became such a widespread laughingstock (and then briefly a point of much-needed conversation on how online user-generated movie rating systems like the Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score can be manipulated) this past summer that it's only inevitable for Gotti to end up being at least marginally better than its reputation if only because of lowered expectations. Instead, Gotti is one of the worst movies of 2018 so far and an abysmal addition to John Travolta's forty-plus years worth of acting credits that isn't exactly devoid of all-time turkeys before this (Old Dogs, anyone?). It wants so badly to be a Martin Scorsese crime movie take on the life of John Gotti but it ends up being a knock-off of an Asylum knock-off of a Martin Scorsese crime movie take on the life of John Gotti instead!
