Review of Capone (2020)

By Jim Vejvoda (203) for IGN (1,013) on 11 May 2020

Review of Capone (2020)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 11 May 2020

Aside from Hardy’s full-on commitment, Capone seems too dramatically dull and laborious to support its ambition as a subversive biopic or…

Review of Capone (2020)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 May 2020

Review of Capone (2020)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 11 May 2020

There is, alas, nothing enriching about Capone. It offers none of the robust competence these dwindling-culture times are running low on…

Review of Capone (2020)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for The Guardian (2,969) on 11 May 2020
