“This life of ours is a wonderful life. If you can get away with it.”
John Travolta is no stranger to crime movies. His resurgence on the small screen, playing litigator Robert Shapiro in The People vs. OJ: American Crime Story, brought him back in the spotlight in a big way. He continues in similar form in the new trailer for Gotti.
Gotti tracks the rise and fall of John Gotti, New York gangster and boss of the Gambino crime family. The trailer actually tells us a lot about the basic tenets of the movie. There are requisite gun violence and that movie mobster strut; father-son moments and the wifely outsider. Travolta appears youthful and aged depending on the frame, indicating the kind of widespread timeline the movie will deal in. Overall, Gotti looks ready to tackle some age-old mob movie questions: where do these mobster characters draw the line on crime when their thirst for power is insatiable? What happens to their legacy after they’re caught?
