Capone is a 2020 biographical drama film directed by Josh Trank and starring Tom Hardy as notorious gangster Al Capone. The movie tells the story of Capone's life after he is released from prison at the age of 47, following an eleven-year sentence for tax evasion.
Capone is suffering from dementia, and the film follows his struggles with his declining mental and physical health, as well as his flashbacks to his violent past. Capone's wife Mae, played by Linda Cardellini, and his doctor, played by Kyle MacLachlan, try to manage his illness as he becomes increasingly paranoid and delusional.
As Capone's condition worsens, he begins to see hallucinations of people he has killed in the past, including his arch-nemesis, Jimmy Hoffa. The film explores themes of mortality, guilt, and the price of a life of crime.
"Capone" received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising Hardy's performance and the film's portrayal of the infamous gangster's decline, while others criticized its slow pacing and lack of plot development. The film is a character study of one of the most notorious criminals in American history, and although it may not appeal to all audiences, it provides a unique perspective on the final years of Capone's life.
