Okay, now this I can get behind – Al Pacino is returning to the filmtype he cut his teeth on, the rattta-tat-tat horses-head-in-bed snow-on-nose variety, with a heavy duty role in Barry Levinson’s “Gotti : Three Generations”.
Pacino, the fucking master of the mob movie having starred in such boss flicks as “The Godfather” series, “Scarface” and “Donnie Brasco” (And a shout out to his ‘Big Boy Caprice’ from “Dick Tracy”), is perfect for the role of Gambino crime family underboss Neil Dellacroce, an associate and mentor to Gotti Sr. (John Travolta). And might I say – a promising part for Pacino who, lets face it, has been swimming down a river of shite the last few years (“Rightheous Kill”, “88 Minutes”, “Two for the Money”, “Gigli”). Hopefully this gets Pacino back on right track, and that he follows it up with that oft-rumoured Scorsese project “The Irishman”, which he, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci are said to be doing.
“Gotti” will reunite Pacino with Barry Levinson, whom he worked with on last year’s “You Don’t Know Jack”.
Really wild cast this thing has – Travolta as Gotti, Kelly Preston as Gotti’s Mrs, Joe Pesci as and Lindsay Lohan as Kim Gotti. Now if only Rapunzel can drop one of her magical tearducts onto the stiff frame of John Cazale. Ah, miss that man.
