OK so we have Rod Steiger in Al Capone in 1958 ..Then Neville Brand as Capone in The Untouchables TV series in 1959. Then Jason Robards as Capone in the St Valentines Day Massacre in 1966. Ben Gazzara in Capone 1975. Robert De Niro as capone in The Untouchables 1988. F Murray Abraham as Capone in Dillinger And Capone in 1990. Ray Sharkey in The Revenge Of Al Capone in 1991 Stephen Graham as Capone in Boardwalk Empire 2015 and now finally Tom Hardy in Capone... Every actor that has played Al Capone in the past have given the role their all. I own Every Al Capone movie and I can safely say that this movie is the best of them all and I will explain why... It's the first Capone movie to show Capone as a real human being instead of the power house he once was. This flick has much depth it almost brings a tear to the eye. We feel sorry for big Al in this movie and have mercy on his soul atleast that's how it made me feel. Tom Hardy is without a doubt the best Al Capone to grace the screen he is amazing. This is like watching the real Al Capone in real life it's that good. Rod Steiger was surely the Best Capone to date but this movie is on another level. We see Capone suffer and we want to rescue him from his pain. This movie really touched me deep it has many powerful scenes that are simply genius I can't wait to watch this for the 2nd time as I had the wrong expectations on the first viewing... There is no dvd release for this movie as it's on Netflix and blue ray but I managed to get hold of an original import copy on ebay before its Blue Ray release on 20th July. This movie is for the real mob movie fan like me one must know his Capone movies before watching this that's for sure. I give this movie a champion 10/10 it's a very important movie with a personal feeling of knowing big Al. Tom Hardy deserves an Oscar. As far as I'm concerned there are no weak spots in this film it's exactly how it should be of been made regarding direction,pace and soundtrack. The villa is so accurate as is Tom Hardys wardrobe and mannerisms .. Pure genius I cannot praise this movie enough its the best Al Capone movie ever made and perfectly cast . Hats off all round....
From now on nothing goes down unless I'm involved no blackjack no dope deals no nothing, if a Nickle bag gets sold in the park I want in.. You guys got fat while everyone's starved on the street, it's my turn mzzza!. This movie is off the hook and a real gangster flick. Christopher Walken and Larry Fishburn are unstoppable and unforgettable. It's moody , dark and realistic. Love how Walken take's ghetto youths under his wing as he know's their pain. There is no other movie like this anywhere it stands alone and the test of time .Cracking....
Ok I love Peaky Blinders and season 4 was amazing but this season the first 5 episodes were trash and have no redeeming sparks. The last episode tho is near perfect and almost makes up for the previous episodes .The opening scene with Winston Churchill being so good and followed by Michaels business plan was incredible , I couldn't believe this was the same series as the quality of dialogue and tension had just gone back to season 4 standards and then Tom Hardy is back from the dead lifting the whole season 5 proceedings from the gutter with only five minutes screentime. So a strange season indeed, complete rubbish til the final episode and then it chews up the previous five episodes and spits them on your carpet followed by a world changing Tom Hardy scene that couldn't of made more impact if he stabbed his dog in the eye. Personally I will never again watch episodes 1 to 5 as i honestly can't give them any rating at all as they are strictly bad padding. I will simply skip to the finale numerous times after watching seasons 1 to 4 , some personal editing so to speak. Oh and Mr Gold at the family meeting questioning Tommy''s plans is absolute quality , as I said the finale is near perfect even with the random cliffhanger leaving no closure it really doesn't take anything away from the episode as it''s so well played out...
