I genuinely think that Travolta and Scorsese is the only team that could have made this into a decent film. John Gotti's story is complex as it is, yet this film actually complicates it even more and makes it harder to follow. Also modern Scorsese would get pitbull. He no longer chooses his own music, since the departed he's had a "music assistant" who chooses all the music (like Dropkick Murphys' Shipping out to Boston). If he had an assistant who liked pitbull then he 100% would have pitbull do the whole soundtrack.

@medes5597

@ThatOneAsianBroChick since the Departed onwards, Scorcese picks one or two songs that are important and then gives the rest to his music assistant. He didn't even hear the dropkick Murphys song all over the departed until the premiere by his own admission. That guy put pitbull on, they'd have god damn pitbull. Martin doesn't even listen. He even confirmed this in his vanity fair interview a few months ago.

This is the most fun the Snob had reviewing a movie I've ever seen.

You know HBO back then produced a TV movie of GOTTI with Armand Assante it was pretty good why did they have to produce this one wonder

Yeah man, I love two things, Johnny Travolta and John and Kelly's screen loves it really is good because well it isn't acting, as long as they keep the character. Travolta is amazing in the emotional scenes, he really uses a good range in this, or well an appropriate range for the character, I think. I don't know if you ever see these new comments on old videos but I would LOVE if you did the Mary Shelly's Frankenstein with Deniro, I loved his portrayal of the monster in that.
