The marketing team behind John Travolta's new movie has hit back after critics universally panned the film.
Released in the US last week, the mobster movie Gotti currently has a 0 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and not one of the site's top critics have had a nice thing
to say about it.
"I'd rather wake up next to a severed horse head than ever watch Gotti again," the New York Post wrote.
"This is a strange thing to say about a notorious mob boss who was locked up for murder, but John Gotti deserved better," a critic from IndieWire wrote.
Rolling Stone said in its review: "Starring in this mobster biopic that deserves to get whacked is an offer Travolta should have refused. Insane testimonials from Gotti supporters at the end are as close as this s**tshow will ever get to good reviews".
