You're welcome, GM.
Armand Assante, who, IMO, played Gotti with more intelligence and drive than he had in real life).
While 'Gotti" is one of my favorite mob movies, I have to agree with you on that point. Assante most definitely played a more intelligent, and might I add animated Gotti than what the real life Gotti really was.
Turnbull, if you really want to see a more accurate Gotti, check out 'Witness for the Mob' which is the story of Sammy the Bull. While not nearly as good as the movie 'Gotti," I must say that Tom Sizemore plays an excellent and more close to real life Gotti. I promise that you'll enjoy Sizemore's portrayal of him in that movie.
