“Gotti” (*1/2 out of four) was an enervated biographical crime drama of the early 1990’s NYC crime boss John Gotti (John Travolta) and film reimagines him as an underdog cult hero! Film shows his gradual early rising from low-level mafia hitman to a tough but loving family man with a wife (Kelly Preston) and son (Spencer Rocco Lofranco) who he loves but he is never able to leave the streets and organized crime behind. Film doesn’t tell you anything about Gotti you haven’t seen in at least 100 other mafia movies. Any one scene in “Good Fellas” or “The Godfather” tops this hands down. Travolta ranges from flamboyant to ridiculous as the dapper Don; strangely, him and Preston have very little chemistry even though they’re married in real life. Lofranco gives film’s best performance as Gotti’s troubled son.
