The Big Picture It is ideal to go big or go home when making a movie. This idealist attitude swings both ways, as instead of creating a cinematic masterpiece, you create a hilariously awful movie that is forever canonized. Perhaps it's more advantageous to be comically inept rather than forgettably inept, but with a film like Gotti , being a film of such poor quality is concerning. This film aspires to be a modern gangster film classic.
Upon watching this introduction, viewers are forced to reckon with the possibility that they unknowingly signed up to watch a clever satire of the gangster genre. Perhaps Gotti will do to the gangster film what Walk Hard did to the music biopic. Unfortunately, this hopeful prophecy was all for nothing, as the film lacks any tangible self-awareness to assert itself as the next great parody movie.
Tonally, the most glaring issue with Gotti is that it feels like it was crafted by people who unironically valorize Goodfellas and Casino as "cool," and not nuanced portrayals of the alluring nature of crime and the toxicity of capitalist greed. The film takes so much glee in its execution of violent sequences, but it lacks the intoxicating fervor of Scorsese's brutality. Gotti depicts graphic slayings, but they are ultimately vapid.
