There are some movies that when you're done watching them, you have to take a second and wonder if it was a real movie. "Capone" is one of those.
Directed by Josh Trank (known best for the disastrously-received "The Fantastic Four") and starring Tom Hardy as the legendary prohibition-era gangster, Al Capone, the movie looks at the man in the final years of his life having done his time in prison and living in Florida.
But in no way was Capone enjoying his golden years. Suffering from paralytic dementia due to late-stage syphilis, he's often in and out of consciousness and the movie takes us deep into his troubled mind where we follow him on blood-soaked (and soiled underwear) rampages.
Hardy is fantastic in the movie. Covered in makeup and prosthetics, he's transformed into an elderly kingpin and looks to be savoring every moment to go wild as this character.
And he certainly does that.
The movie (available On Demand beginning Tuesday) is a fever-dream if there ever was one. And you will love it or hate it for that reason. But regardless of how you feel about it, you have to respect Trank for the bold choices (even if at times they make you scratch your head).
Here we have compiled the 6 did-that-really-just-happen moments in "Capone":
