About the documentary:
If you like Scorsese’s movies, we recommend it: don’t miss it, because “Get Gotti” is a complete journey through the most recent history of Mafia organizations: their wars, stories, and how everything led to those 1980s when, they say, you could make millions of dollars on the street without anyone doing anything.
The documentary takes us with juicy interviews with the mobsters themselves, who speak without shame about those times and how they committed their crimes.
Yes, “Get Gotti” is a documentary about John Gotti and his capture, but it is also a portrait of an era.
A documentary in which you can see the two sides of crime: the side of the criminals, with interviews with the mobsters who met Gotti in person; and the side of the law enforcement agents who had the difficult task of prosecuting and imprisoning him.
Our opinion:
Once again, a great documentary with interviews of unquestionable interest, especially from those criminals, who do not hesitate to speak openly in front of the camera and tell us their stories.
