Al Capone (Tom Hardy) is released after a decade in prison due to his poor health from late stage syphilis. He is hounded by hallucinations and lives with his family in Florida. He believes that he had hidden $10 million but can't remember where.
This is an idea more than a movie. There really isn't much of a point other than a fleeting treasure hunt and Tom Hardy doing his Oscar reel. It would be interesting to do a movie about his wife. If it wants to be the treasure hunt, it should start with the government agents and their reason for releasing the man. There is a son. There is the family. It's a lot things and nothing well examined. This is not a good rebound film for Josh Trank. The filmmaking looks good but the story goes down too many dead ends. It introduces characters but don't expand on them. It hints at a deeper story but ends up with a muddle.

This is a sad story about the last year of a man dying from syphilis. Capone is losing it at both ends while his family tries to cope and care for him. Meanwhile, there is a discussion of $10 million dollars he had hidden and doesn't recall where the money is at, not liking to keep notes, trusting no one.
The acting was decent, but such a film should only be a by-line at the end of a real film about Capone. It would be like watching "The Iron Lady" without an flashbacks. Just can't wait for those good old days when I can hide my own Easter Eggs.

The other Capone
This has quite the talented group of actors assembled. Which makes me wonder how the score is so low. But on the other hand I am not so surprised - because while this is about the infamous Capone, it is not the Capone we have seen in the past. It is rather a Capone that has lost his touch ... with reality, with his peers and loved ones and so much more.
And that makes this a movie that is not easy to watch at all. Tom Hardy though gives a superb performance! Sublime and and subtle, he touches all the right bases! Make-up effects are great and cinematography also works in the movies favor. The movie is quite violent and insane ... in many regards. Just be aware of that.
