Capone (2020)

Those of you expecting a violent gangster flick or The Untouchables 2 don't bother you will be disappointed, if you want to see a dark grim tale about the last 12 months in Capone's life that doesn't pull any punches then this is a very rewarding film. Incredible performance from Hardy in a film that is more about declining mental health that gangster shoot outs.

Fmovies: Such a poor film - that's about all I can muster to describe this waste of time.

If you are expecting shootings and Godfather alike you are watching the wrong movie and unfortunately people don't even read what this movie was about hence the low rating.The movie is esoteric.Is about his entrapment in his own mind and about the straggling with his own demons of the past.Hardy once again is just ridiculously amazing.

Capone fmovies. BAD reviews here are not justified & must be based on the expectancy of a GANGSTER epic...this IS NOT a Prohibition era TOMMY GUN wielding SUICIDE DOOR swinging gangster movie so do not expect this...instead remember what you know about CAPONE from movies,books,documentaries or whatever and how it stops when he is defeated by the pen...then watch this to understand the aftermath and deconstruction of the mind of the worlds most notorious criminal.CAPONE is played brilliantly by TOM HARDY who never disappoints as we see the haunting of an insane mind projected through visions & illusions emotionally torturing the loved ones around him...on occasion when you try to look into the window of the soul you find yourself asking yourself - are you in there AL ? - and in a mirror scene CAPONE sees himself in his prime & I thought to myself WOW I would really love to see a movie with that AL ...this is an emotional drama with a mans mind being stripped away with every thought he processes & the movie metaphorically mirrors this through loss of possessions...the mind is powerful & when you dont have control of it dangerous it becomes especially in this case....WATCH IT FOR WHAT IT IS.

If you watched the trailer, you knew going in that this film wasn't going to profile the heyday of Al Capone, but rather his cognitive decline at the end of this life. I am not sure if this is indicative of our times that people can't sit through a movie without all of the bells and whistles, but I thought this was a phenomenal portrayal of what dementia looks like. It just goes to show you that even the wealthy are just human and suffer like anyone else. I recommend this movie to everyone. It is not a gangster film but a portrayal of a violent criminal whose dementia haunts him.

Tom Hardy gives a good performance even with his voice been strange, but putting the fact that the character is suffering from dementia and i don't know Al Capone real voice, i can forgive the voice thing. If you ever saw a person with dementia or a similar disease you known that they don't sound normally.

Linda Cardellini also gives a good performance showing how much she is suffering whatching her husband going through all that and the weight she is carrying to stand there for him.

There are also some good sequences that makes you go deep into the insanity of Capone's mind, which is also congratulation to Hardy, but the rest of the history and characters are very, very empty.

Only good acting is not gonna make a good movie.
