Undermined By Reality has been cut.


* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: A lot of the movie seems to be based on the idea that John Gotti is a [[NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangster]] who was unfairly jailed by The Man, except that as far as the audience can tell, Gotti is entirely guilty of the charges against him, and is shown casually murdering people on a pretty regular basis. This overlaps with UnderminedByReality, as the actual John Gotti basically escaped his charges less through covering his tracks or being beloved by the community, and more through threatening and bribing witnesses a lot.

** The film's attempts to age John Gotti Jr. up amount to... simply giving him a pair of glasses and nothing else.
** Travolta portrays Gotti with makeup to make him appear older. Travolta at the time of filming was 2 years older than John Gotti was when he died.
