Comments | The themes contained in this biographical action drama film are complex and mature including: organised crime, racketeering, extortion, blackmail, assassination, violent intimidation, implied drug dealing, power, betrayal, imprisonment, sacrifice, murder, anger, lies and loyalty presented in dark threatening and menacing style. The film touches on the grief attached to the loss of a child and the violent revenge by the mafia. The themes are of an entertainment value and carry no positive messages that would be beneficial to the younger viewers although biographical. The themes carry the potential to cause psychological and moral harm to viewers who might still be cognitively or emotionally immature. The depiction of the inner workings of organised crime as well as the almost non-chalantly used language would be confusing, distressing and upsetting to viewers younger than the of 16. |

What the Critics say | ||
24.com Ilan Preskovsky What all this means, then, is that Gotti isn’t so much Travolta’s latest Face/Off so much as it is his latest Battlefield Earth: a personal passion project that has opened to critical scorn and public indifference. | 2 | |
