Have you read many of the reviews? Why do you think it's not connecting with critics? Well, it is connecting with critics. You have critics here. I don't know what's piloting their boat. Take for example, you have a critic named Johnny Oleksinski. He was affiliated with The NY Post. He gave us a horrible review. [The headline of his review: "Gotti flick is the worst mob movie of all time"] He completely trashed the movie.
But one of the consultants, or one of the individuals that the Post had weigh in regarding this movie, was a long time government cooperator since the '90s who was convicted along with six other guys of luring one man to his death and killing him. He's convicted of beating and abusing his wife. This guy's been harassing people online, has been thrown off Facebook, has been thrown off Instagram for harassing women online, okay. His own son has been cooperating with my next project which is called Witsec Mafia. He's been telling us about how his father abused him and all the abuse and the crimes his father has been committing since being released into the witness protection program.
But yet The Post had used this guy as somewhat of a consultant to weigh in regarding the Gotti movie. Now do you find something wrong with that? I do. [Gotti is referring to former alleged Gambino crime family associate John Alite, who testified against Gotti Jr. in 2009 and told the Post he thought the film features "bad acting" and "horrible writing," adding that Gotti "was never a legit street guy and all of us real killers [and] gangsters know this." In 2008, Alite admitted involvement in two murders, four murder conspiracies, at least eight shootings and two attempted shootings as part of a plea deal. Alite claimed in a book that he had plotted to murder Gotti Jr. in the early '90s. Gotti Jr. was also the best man at Alite's marriage in 1989.]
