1 cataloguedFast and slick, well-sourced and cogently told, it opens up most when the tea gets spilled by those on both sides of the law.
Hero worship and makes a superhero out of a stupid criminal. The guy took over and 5 years later brought down himself and pretty much the entire mob. The opposite **** and smart mob boss. Police have much to thank him for, the mob not so much. Anyway, 5 years spending millions compared to life in prison and then death, probably not as glamorous as this documentary makes it out to be. He was so stupid that he was bugged pretty much the entire time he was boss. And didn't know it.
hat it brings to mind the most? The hyperbolic sleaze of TV “newsmagazine” Hard Copy. Get Gotti is slick and sensationalist and tiptoes right up to the edge of bad taste, occasionally dipping the tip of a toe in it. It’s also tonally conflicted.
