Though she grew up in the same neighborhood with him, the new Assistant U.S. Attorney is determined to prosecute Mafia boss John Gotti. Uncooperative FBI agents and bureaucrats will not deter the driven young prosecutor as her quest culminates in the memorable and controversial trial of the "Dapper Don."
Acting
Lorraine Bracco's feral determination outshines the material.
Production
Incredible 1994 hair and shoulder pads — archaeological find.
Director
Roger Young
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Diane Giacalone never prosecuted another case after Gotti's acquittal; she left law entirely. The film barely hints at this cost.
Released months before Gotti's actual 1997 racketeering conviction, making this a weird time-capsule of 'what if she had won.'
