not the next godfather, goodfellas, or scarface movie. travolta is a decent actor but not even he was safe from this mess of a movie. kinda like a rushed project put together at the last minute. i can elaborate but please do believe the critics at rotten tomatoes.
for me 4/10

it was just cringy af. every scene where travolta playfully threatened his wife just came out as fake. the rumble scenes were a joke, worse action than the fakest wwe match. i could go on. it wasnt even "the room" bad, just bad. no reason to throw away money at this movie because it clearly does not deserve it.

i mean if the story and direction was any good, travolta's Gotti would have been passable. i think travolta is a great actor and he was a good fit for gotti, but the movie was a mess and it wasnt his fault

I admire the OP for making the effort to watch it. I don't take Travolta seriously as an actor--he's always been a lightweight--and a role like this needed an actor that brings gravitas and a sense of malice. He was trying to fund a prestige product for some notoriety, but the notoriety he received for a box office bomb wasn't a great return on the investment.

Pulp Fiction was Travolta's come back.

The movie was a mess, and even if you disagree, I thought it was one of Travolta's best work.
Remember this movie was suppose to come out just before the end of 2017, for a chance to qualify for the March 4th 2018 Oscars, but it was pulled about a week or so before it's original release date. The release was going to be limited, and from what I read, Travolta didn't like that as he felt this was his best work and wanted the movie to be a wider release. It finally opened on 503 screens about six months later, and ended up being his worst opening on 500-plus screens since "Shout" (1991.)
I read that Travolta used some of his own money to help give it a wider release, but I don't know if that's true or not.
