The John Travolta mafia movie “Gotti” won’t be attracting much of a mob in theaters if Rotten Tomatoes has anything to do with it.
The biopic of crime boss John Gotti (Travolta) received a 0 percent score on the movie review aggregation site as of Monday morning. The 23 reviews so far all registered “rotten.”
Critics piled on the mafia references to send the movie to a dirt nap on its opening weekend.
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wrote that the flick “deserves to get whacked” and “is an offer Travolta should have refused.”
“I’d rather wake up next to a severed horse head than ever watch ‘Gotti’ again,” Johnny Oleksinski cracked in the New York Post.
On a positive note, the movie received a 79 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. “Clearly, critics are out of touch with the people who actually vote with their pocketbooks,” “Gotti” publicist Dennis Rice said, according to Deadline.

Tesla management told employees Monday that the recent layoffs -- which gutted some departments by 20% and even hit high performers -- were largely due to poor financial performance, a source familiar with the matter told TechCrunch. The layoffs were announced to staff just a week before Tesla is scheduled to report its first-quarter earnings. The move comes as Tesla has seen its profit margin narrow over the past several quarters, the result of an EV price war that has persisted for at least a year.
