    It seems like the usual schematic hollywood junk movie with many cheap dramatic scenes for the effect and the usual bullshit based on a true story. Actually 1% of it has anyting to do with the true events.

    With theaters closed, Vertical Entertainment and Redbox Entertainment have teamed up to release Capone as a home premiere on VOD release on May 12th with an on-demand 48-hour rental. In his first feature film since 2015’s Fantastic Four, director Josh Trank documents the sad, slow decline of a once mighty king in Capone. Anyone expecting this to be a Tommy Guns-blazing crime epic a la The Untouchables may be stunned to find a methodically paced character study that owes more to psychological and body horror than to pulpy gangster flicks. While the movie acknowledges the existence of that larger-than-life crime boss, this is about what happens to Al Capone long after his Prohibition glory days and subsequent incarceration, as the neurosyphilis he’s long had finally ravages him beyond any hope of recovery. This is not an Al Capone we’ve ever seen on screen before, but it’s one that true crime aficionados like myself have been curious to see explored in a drama. For mob buffs and those who enjoy character studies, Capone offers an intimate, sometimes challenging look at one of America’s most notorious figures. But the film’s own narrow focus and drawing room play-style approach could turn off those general viewers who might normally check out a movie about the original “Scarface” and expect to find something less niche. While there are a few scenes here of Al Capone wielding a Tommy Gun, he’s dressed in adult diapers and lost in a mental fog while doing it. 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. 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. But
