Gotti, a 2018 biopic of Mafia boss John Gotti that was adapted from his son's memoir, went through seven years of Development Hell before finally being released... and it shows, with the film going down as quite possibly one of the worst mob movies ever made, earning a rare 0% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film completely lacks any sort of narrative through-line, jumping between various moments in Gotti's life seemingly at random, while ultimately painting Gotti — a mob boss — as an unambiguous hero and family man. Talented actors embarrass themselves with dreadful performances, with John Travolta, playing the title character, being just about the only person in the cast who seemed like he was even trying. As the cherry on top, the movie-ticket-subscription service MoviePass (which helped fund the film) was widely accused of running an AstroTurf scheme to artificially inflate the film's audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, which it then used in an attempt to create a Critical Dissonance dynamic around it, running ads comparing critics to "trolls behind a keyboard"; it failed, with the film making only $1.7 million on its opening weekend against a $10 million budget, with 40% of the people who saw it getting their tickets for free through MoviePass. The film was nominated for many Razzie awards (Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor (Travolta), Worst Supporting Actress (Preston), Worst Screen Combo (Travolta and Preston) and Worst Screenplay), but won none, with fellow Horrible entry Holmes and Watson (see below) winning the first two. Ralph The Movie Maker tears it apart here, as does What The Flick?!, with Christy comparing the film unfavorably to fellow Horrible entry Battlefield Earth, which Travolta also starred in.
