In TomHardy's new film, the actor takes on the role of America's most infamous mobster: AlCapone
might be that studio interference was at least partly responsible for that lumbering dirge of a superhero reboot going so badly wrong. So with Josh Trank taking a more independent detour and seizing greater control as writer, director and editor on his return feature, it seemed reasonable to hope he might recapture some of the spark and invention of his 2012 debut,is definitely an unconventional take on the twilight of a notorious gangster.
It chronicles the final year in Capone's life, when he had been exiled to his Florida mansion and was being kept under government watch after neurosyphilis had begun turning his brain to mush during a decade in prison for tax evasion. The hook for the story ostensibly is the Feds' quest to verify rumors of a $10 million stash Capone supposedly hid someplace but now can't recall where.
The paranoia that gnaws at Fonse is partly justified by his glimpses of FBI surveillance officers on the perimeters of his property. A liquidity problem necessitates the sale of sculptures of ancient Roman gods and centurions, which are hauled off, providing unsubtle symbolism for his awareness of his power slipping away.
