Critics Consensus

Tom Hardy makes the most of his opportunity to tackle a challenging role, but Capone is too haphazardly constructed to support his fascinating performance.

Ian Freer

Empire Magazine

It doesn't completely work and lacks complexity, but Capone is scene-for-scene more interesting than many slicker films. Hardy's swing-for-the-fences performance is a must-see.

Rated: 3/5

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Dropping its leash on a star who needs one, the film mistakes decrepitude for drama, and the closest it gets to mid-scene narrative suspense is wondering whether Al Capone has just let himself go with a number one or two.

Rated: 2/5

The Australian

...that is what I like about it. It's a movie about a dying man trying not to die and looking back over his life with regret...

Vague Visages

Hardy provides something alien, both amusing and disgusting, a unique cross between Jack Nicholson’s Jack Torrance in The Shining and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Bug in Men in Black.

Keith Garlington

Keith & the Movies

A grim foray into a disease-ravaged mind anchored by Hardy’s grab-it-by-the-throat performance. Is that enough to warrant sitting through so much unpleasantness? You’ll have to make that call.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

Even if Hardy's laughable performance wasn't another of his misguided experiments - which, even in their failures, prove admirable for his commitment to their stunt-like quality - Capone would still be an intolerable mess.

Rated: 1/4

For a complicated subject initially intrigues over the filmic coverage, there's a mixture in the faltering approach when keeping up unconventionality. Unexpectedly nuanced that only delivers reverence in the mental condition, simultaneously affecting the structure whilst questionably boosted by Hardy's challenging embodiment under minimized, subpar treatment towards the actual matter being insignificantly overdone.

Tom Hardy does what he can with a story and character that holds much potential, everything else just doesn't work.

Even the incomparable Tom Hardy couldn't save this movie. Could have been a great film but the script was terrible. Couldn't watch to the end it was so bad.

Embarrassing. Director thinks he is Scorsese. He is not. Not even Tom H can rescue a poorly directed rubbish script.

This movie really needed to be a documentary because no one wants to see an old man dying of an stds and hallucinating his violet acts of his past. In no way was this entertaining or necessary.
