An attempt to watch Gotti (1996) reminded of what I hate about ex-mobsters, or ones on the margins of that world, who segue to ‘acting’. They cannot act a lick and it’s embarrassing to watch.
This has Big Pussy and Paulie Walnuts in it and their mere presence had me reaching for the remote. Uncle Junior even appears; The Sopranos survived despite this.
Then Anthony Quinn reels off one of his worst performances, which defines the last 20 years of his career.
So I turned it off because it’s shite.
Stick to Scorsese. Avoid crap like this.
