Review of Capone

Capone (2020)
6/10
misdeeds come back to haunt you
9 August 2020
Al Capone remains one of the most famous and iconic gangsters of all time. During the 1920s he practically owned Chicago (owing in part to prohibition). After spending several years in jail, he got released to his residence in Florida to live out the rest of his life. Suffering from neurosyphilis, Capone could only sit around reminiscing on his life of crime.

Josh Trank's "Capone" looks at this. Tom Hardy plays the moribund criminal. It's one intense performance. The rest of the characters didn't really stick in my mind. It's an OK movie, not great.

PS: Al Capone once said "Never trust a cop. You never know when he might go straight."
