Again, the movie walks a tricky line between the two, not always successfully, but Capone deserves kudos and a watch for daring to do something different with its subject. There’s a running subplot revolving around a young mystery character with ties to Al, but ultimately this invention is there to help connect Capone’s real life with his fugue state of imagined threats and interactions. As much as Capone delves into the heretofore unfilmed twilight of its subject’s sordid life, one should obviously not expect complete historical accuracy. Co-stars Linda Cardellini and Matt Dillon lend able support, but this is definitely The Tom Hardy Show. It’s far from subtle, and will likely prove divisive to viewers, but he’s the most magnetic element in the film whenever he’s onscreen. His Fonzo is pitiable, but there are flashes of the dangerous brute who once ruled Chicago like a king the point of the movie and Hardy’s highly physical performance is to show how far the mighty have fallen. It may take a bit for viewers to adjust to the makeup job and Hardy’s affected gravelly, mumbly speaking voice, both of which may call to mind a Dick Tracy villain (but seeing as how Capone inspired Dick Tracy villains like Big Boy Caprice, that may be strangely fitting). Still, it’s intriguing to see this fresh approach with a historical figure that’s been the subject of dozens of movies and TV shows over the years.Īs Capone, Tom Hardy gives one of his most Actor-y performances, one that ranges from scenery-chewing to incredibly nuanced, sometimes even within the same scene. It’s a fine line to walk between artsy obfuscation and unnecessary plot convolutions, and Capone doesn’t always strike the right balance. He literally hobbles along through the dark, unsure of what’s real and what isn’t, but the movie can also confuse the viewer by cutting back and forth between Al’s reality and the movie’s reality. This is where things get tricky for the movie, though, as Capone is at its best and most involving when we’re lost in Al’s reveries with him. But the lost loot is just a McGuffin as the focus of the movie really is on watching a sick man grow increasingly sicker while those around him do what they can to either help or exploit him. Fonzo wants to know where the loot is, as do his family members - who will be left with nothing once he dies - and the Feds, who are still stalking him years after he was released from prison early due to illness. Set almost entirely within the confines of his Florida compound during the last year of his life, Capone sees “Fonzo” struggling to recall where he hid $10 million in ill-gotten gains somewhere on the estate while figures from his literal and figurative past revisit him. But the film - which Trank also scripted and edited - doesn’t necessarily offer much new information with each sad spectacle of seeing the king of the underworld brought so low, and the plot itself is fairly thin. Trank has expressed a fascination with radical changes in the human body and how people cope with them before in both Chronicle and Fantastic Four, so Capone seems a natural (and grounded) extension of that peculiar interest. Instead, Capone repeatedly shows Al - or “Fonzo” as he’s called throughout (indeed, his wife Mae at one point says the name “Al” is not said in their home anymore) - in an eroding mental and physical state, whether it’s hallucinating seeing figures from his past or losing bladder control.
