Directed by Kevin Connelly, Gotti stars John Travolta as John Gotti, Sr. and Kelly Preston as Vicky, Gotti’s wife. The movie follows the father and son, John Gotti, Jr. played by Spencer Lofranco. Gotti, Sr. lived and perished by the mob code of ethics. His son was raised to continue a life of crime. He decided to leave the mob and atone himself and the Gotti name.

The movie is an inside look at the Gotti family and Gotti, Sr. as the head of the Gambino crime family. The largest and most dominant crime organization in the country.

Kevin Connelly has a long list of acting credits from Entourage to The Notebook. He’s directed a few episodic television shows like Entourage and Unhappily Ever After. Gotti is his first major movie with megastars like Travolta and Preston.

The movie is written by both Lem Dobbs and Leo Rossi. Dobbs credits include The Company You Keep and Haywire.  Rossi is also an actor with a long list of credits like Sinatra Club and Gotti, playing Bobby Boriello. As a writer, Rossi only has two other screenwriting credits.

The movie trailer and clip so Travolta at his best. His wife, Preston, holds her own as well. Both the trailer and clip so very little of Lofranco.  I am sure more movie trailers and clips are on their way. Lofranco will get his chance to show his acting chops.  Lofranco movie credits include Unbroken and King Cobra.

You can catch the movie on Blu-ray, DVD, or stream it.

This movie clip tells a lot about John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s experience in developing their characters.
