I saw this movie for the first time only a few years ago. If you've never seen it, and were/are a fan of the Sopranos and Goodfellas, you should definitely like it.

In fact, you will probably recognize many familiar faces, including Michael Imperioli, Tony Sirico, Frank Vincent, Vincent Pastore, Abe Vigoda, and others.

He, like all of them, IMO, is a POS.

Just want to make that clear.

Like the mob movies and documentaries, though.

Netflix sez:

In this made-for-TV drama, Gambino crime family underboss Sammy "The Bull" Gravano (Nicholas Turturro) earns a new nickname -- "King Rat" -- when he turns state's evidence against John Gotti (Tom Sizemore), Sammy's boss and onetime friend. Executive produced by Robert De Niro and based on real events, the film also stars Debi Mazar, Abe Vigoda, Frank Vincent, Frankie Valli, Michael Imperioli and Vincent Pastore.

Rated 3 stars out of five.

They can stick their 3 out of 5. Movie was very good. I have little respect for most film critics. Very few are people I can relate to. Their opinion is worthless to me.

The rating came from folks who had either seen the movie in the theater or had rented it from Netflix. No ‘professionals’ involved.
