5/10. One of the strangest gangster movies I've seen. And I hadn't even seen Gotti yet. Or Mr. No Legs. It's a better made movie than Fantastic Four but its plot is repetitious. Al Capone is sick and does something weird, people react, his wife is sad. It's kind of like that for ninety minutes until then the murder spree happens when he's in a diaper chomping a carrot and holding a golden Tommy gun. That was memorably 'WTF?'. I don't know, it's kind of like that movie Serenity last year. It's not good but it dives so deep into its own insanity it's kind of interesting? I think Gotti is just considered terrible, not strange. Capone is definitely a better movie than Serenity imo. Serenity is so ridiculous and absurd that it becomes an unintentional comedy. Capone still follows the rules of reality and doesn't jump the shark in the last act, as wonderful hilarious and wtf as that final act in Serenity is. Capone is applying the rules of Fight Club to Al Capone. We don't know always what is actually happening and what is just happening in Al Capone's diseased mind. His character is in the final stages of neurosyphilis for the entire movie. Although neurosyphilis is a neurological disease psychiatric symptoms might appear due to overall damage to the brain. These symptoms can make the diagnosis more difficult. They can include: Dementia Mania Psychosis Depression Delirium
