Personally speaking, I hope Trank continues to make films just as experimental and divisive as Capone. It’s refreshing to see a film that doesn’t simply exist to make a studio a hefty profit...

Hardy provides something alien, both amusing and disgusting, a unique cross between Jack Nicholson’s Jack Torrance in The Shining and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Bug in Men in Black.

| Jan 9, 2024

A grim foray into a disease-ravaged mind anchored by Hardy’s grab-it-by-the-throat performance. Is that enough to warrant sitting through so much unpleasantness? You’ll have to make that call.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2022

Even if Hardy's laughable performance wasn't another of his misguided experiments - which, even in their failures, prove admirable for his commitment to their stunt-like quality - Capone would still be an intolerable mess.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 20, 2022

This is a meandering, aimless slog through the final year of one of America's most notorious criminals.

| Original Score: C- | Nov 1, 2021

Linda Cardellini [is] always fabulous. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 14, 2021

It doesn't completely work and lacks complexity, but Capone is scene-for-scene more interesting than many slicker films. Hardy's swing-for-the-fences performance is a must-see.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 27, 2021

Viewers will inevitably be drawn to this one out of curiosity but, while sometimes fascinating or funny in the sheer scale of its misjudgement, Capone is mainly just a slog.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2021

Capone simply ends, much like waking up from a bizarre but ultimately meaningless dream, the kind your partner gets bored of when you tell it to them.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2021

Grotesque and mortifyingly obvious. Tom Hardy's performance is the very personification of the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" meme from The Simpsons.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 25, 2021

Heavy on gall and style, light on substance.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 29, 2021

A kind of appalling, negative-imprint version of grandeur, where we are watching something misguided being done as fervently as possible.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 6, 2020

Dropping its leash on a star who needs one, the film mistakes decrepitude for drama, and the closest it gets to mid-scene narrative suspense is wondering whether Al Capone has just let himself go with a number one or two.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 26, 2020

It's not meant to be, but it's almost part horror movie. It's a great performance by Hardy in this bizarre and hard to love portrait of a man on his way out.

| Original Score: 5.0 | Nov 25, 2020

If "The Untouchables" is the pride, the American myth-making, then Trank's ambition for "Capone" is to draw you into its unceremonious free-fall. It's not pleasant, and it's not trying to be.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 19, 2020

That's enough, Tom Hardy.

| Original Score: D | Sep 2, 2020

His film about the infamous American gangster, simply titled 'Capone,' is a biographical drama with a narrative so bland and inert that even Tom Hardy's meticulous acting cannot correct it. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 8, 2020

Tom Hardy is a terrific actor. However, Capone is easily the worst performance of his career. This movie is so bad...

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jul 30, 2020

...that is what I like about it. It's a movie about a dying man trying not to die and looking back over his life with regret...

| Jul 28, 2020

"Despite all these artists clicking on all cylinders - or maybe, in a perverse way, because of that - Capone never really engages its audience, keeping us at arm's length even as it probes the most private recesses of a character's psyche.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2020
