Gotti promo calls film critics “trolls behind keyboards” after 0% Rotten Tomatoes score

June 21, 2018 by Gary Collinson

After finding itself in the unenviable position of being the worst reviewed movie of the year – with a rare perfect 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes – the John Travolta-headlined crime drama Gotti has hit back at critics with a new promo branding them “trolls behind keyboards.” Check it out here…

Gotti, which explores the life of real life mob boss John Gotti, does have a decent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes at 75%, although suspicions have been raised about this, given that the film has attracted more ratings than Ocean’s 8 and almost as many as Incredibles 2, despite being seen by a fraction of the audience.

A thread on Reddit suggests that the audience score has been manipulated, something that Screen Junkies’ Dan Murrell also alleged on Twitter:

In response to allegations that Gotti’s audience ratings have been fixed, Rotten Tomatoes responded with the following statement: “We closely monitor our platforms and haven’t determined there to be any problems. All of the reviews were left by active accounts.”

 

GOTTI follows infamous crime boss John Gotti’s (John Travolta) rise to become the “Teflon Don” of the Gambino Crime Family in New York City. Spanning three decades and recounted by his son John Jr. (Spencer Lofranco), GOTTI examines Gotti’s tumultuous life as he and his wife (Kelly Preston) attempt to hold the family together amongst tragedy and multiple prison sentences.

Directed by Kevin Connolly, Gotti features a cast that includes John Travolta, Spencer Lofranco, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Stacy Keach, Chris Mulkey, William DeMeo, and Kelly Preston.
