Terrifier (2016, dir. Damien Leone) - review by Rookie-Critic

Terrifier had a lot of the same problems that All Hallows' Eve did. There are multiple counts of weird misogyny, with increased violence being targeted specifically at the female characters. Their deaths/disfigurements are significantly more brutal and disturbing than the male character deaths that happen (a few of which just happen completely off camera). It's frustrating to see that, in the 3 years that passed between this film and All Hallows' Eve, there was practically no personal growth on the part of Leone. However, I won't waste precious digital space rehashing the same complaints from the last review across this one, and instead try to focus on what this one did actually do better.

Let's get the easy one out of the way first, Leone's practical effects are even better in this than they were in the previous film, and they were already pretty damn good in that one. The budget is bigger for this than it was for Hallows' (this film was the result of a very successful Kickstarter campaign following a massive internet interest in the Art the Clown character), and it shows. The quality of makeup and prosthetic work Leone achieves with what, while bigger, is still a fairly low budget is quite impressive. Also, Art the Clown is the sole antagonistic focus of this film, and his screen time has grown exponentially. There's a change of actor from Mike Giannelli, who played him in All Hallows' Eve, to David Howard Thornton. This is a welcome change, as Thornton's physicality and facial expressions can read more sinister and goofier than what Giannelli was able to do in Hallows'. Art is more menacing in this one, and you feel the impending doom from the second he appears. Also, there were a few moments where the movie was able to break through all the groaning noises and eye rolling I was doing and pull a couple of chuckles out of me. The kills are creative (and would be really impressive if the film and the writing surrounding it weren't so lackluster), the atmosphere and vibe gives off 80s B-movie slasher (even if it is the bad kind of 80s B-movie slasher), and, again, Thornton's performance as Art is commendable. It just still has way too many issues for me to even remotely consider this a good film. It's better than All Hallows' Eve, for sure, but not by much.

Score: 4/10

CAPONE (2020) Grade: F

I can't believe this movie. It's horrible. How did anyone thought this script was a good idea is insane or Josh Trank is just amazing at pitches. Skip it.

Capone (2020)

Film #review: Capone (2020) tells the historically inaccurate tale of the final year in Al Capone's life.

tl;dr: Al Capone is an interesting enough subject without having to make shit up. Film review: Capone (2020), written and directed by Josh Trank I must have heard about this film before, but since I spent January hyperfocusing on the Capones, I was thrilled to discover this film was coming to Netflix. Because I had read up about it beforehand, and seen the IMDb user reviews, I know this wasn’t…

After testing his sobriety at a bachelor party on the Vegas strip, Gavin, a recovered drug addict and former TV star and his childhood friends return to their hotel room. Gavin finds that his unresolved past with his friends and his "savior" girlfriend present much more of threat to his sobriety than the strip did. As the night escalates, Gavin and his friends are forced to face their demons within the walls of the hotel room…with or without each other's help. From director Ryan Brookhart, and written and produced by James Liddell, Two Ways to Go West is a powerfully confronting drama featuring superlative performances from a top ensemble cast including James Liddell, Paul Gennaro, Drew Kenney, Levy Tran, Gino Cafarelli, and Kathrine Narducci. Leading independent distributor Global Digital Releasing releases Two Ways to Go West on VOD July 17.

A Hardy effort

Title: “Capone”

Release date: On disc/streaming May 12, 2020

Starring: Tom Hardy, Linda Cardellini, Kyle MacLachlan, Jack Lowden, Matt Dillon, Noel Fisher, Al Sapienza, Kathrine Narducci, Tilda Del Toro, Wayne Pere, Gino Cafarrelli, Josh Trank, Edgar Arreola, Mason Guccione

Directed by: Josh Trank

Run time: 1 hour, 43 minutes

Rated: R

What it’s about: Notorious gangster Al “Scarface” Capone, his body and mind ravaged by neurosyphilis and dementia, lives out his final year at his Florida estate as the government keeps tabs on him.  

How I saw it: The purpose of director/writer/editor Josh Trank’s film about gangster Alphonse “Scarface” Capone’s final year, “Capone,” seems to boil down to this: provide a showy, over-the-top, cartoonish, Oscar-bait type of role to Tom Hardy. Beyond that, the film – a largely incomprehensible mess, and not an engaging one, that swirls around Hardy’s scene-chewing performance – wouldn’t appear to have a reason to exist. Is there still an eager audience in 2020 for the retelling of stories about Prohibition era gangsters?

In this version of Capone’s story (whether it sticks closely to the known facts would seem to matter little, given Trank’s treatment), Capone (Hardy) smokes a lot of fat cigars, soils himself (and his bed) and unknowingly urinates on the furniture, talks nonsense (when he isn’t grunting), experiences frequent bouts of paranoia, goes incognito by dressing as a woman, shoots an alligator from a boat with a shotgun, sings and dances along with the Cowardly Lion during an at-home screening of “The Wizard of Oz,” has hallucinatory flashbacks about his vicious past (ones that apparently don’t produce any remorse) and goes berserk with a gold-plated Tommy gun while chewing on an unsliced carrot (his doctor having taken away his cigars) while he’s wearing an open robe and adult diaper. That last part really happens in the movie.

The plot? Trank doesn’t give us much of one, other than Capone getting gradually more ill and then dying. The closest “Capone” comes to drama is a side plot about the gangster supposedly having buried about $10 million (that’s almost $150 million in today’s dollars) but forgetting where it is, and federal agents trying every trick in the book to get Capone to reveal the location. The obligatory summarizing printed words just before the credits tell us Capone’s money was never found. The film also includes a storyline about a teenage son who Capone doesn’t acknowledge trying to talk to his father on the phone (as federal agents listen), but it’s neither here nor there because it goes unresolved; the scenes mostly serve as an intermission to the Hardy-as-Capone craziness.

And Hardy’s Capone is plenty crazy. Say what you will about the film, but the 42-year-old British actor (he is playing a 47-going-on-87 Capone) goes all in for his roles, and for this one he most definitely is all in. He is only recognizable through his eyes. Hardy wears prosthetics to recreate Capone’s garish face scars and is given a balding head, and he’s dumpier than usual; his physique looks nothing like it did when he played Bane in the Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises.” Speaking of Bane, Hardy’s Capone voice is nearly as comically bad and every bit as difficult to understand (must be all those cigars). Thankfully, viewing at home allows for the use of captioning. That way you know Capone is saying mostly “ehhh” and “mmmm.” The supporting cast is solid – especially Linda Cardellini as Capone’s wife Mae, Jack Lowden as a young FBI agent who must convince his superiors Capone still is relevant in 1947, and Matt Dillon as Johnny, an acquaintance of Capone – but takes such a backseat to the central figure that it matters little who plays the other characters.

“Capone” seems jumbled because it bounces between reality (we think) and Capone’s dreamlike consciousness. In one scene that seems to go on forever, Capone (though still the gravely ill version) walks through the crowd in a ballroom and joins Louis Armstrong on stage for a duet of “Blueberry Hill.” In another flashback, Capone is present for the brutal murder of a masked snitch, as one of his associates, Gino (Gino Cafarelli), stabs the man’s neck more than a dozen times while screaming f-bombs. Hardy’s Capone is at times funny, sometimes unintentionally, but if that was supposed to be the tone, the effort is undermined by what amounts to exploitation of a character with elderly traits even though he hadn’t yet reached 50. Watching a grown man soil himself while being interviewed by federal agents is far more sad and gross than humorous or entertaining.

By the end of the plodding movie, it isn’t clear if Trank was trying to paint a sympathetic picture of a prematurely dying man or making a statement about people like Capone getting their comeuppance, or something straight down the middle. “Capone” doesn’t work as any of those options, even with Hardy giving it his all.

My score: 33 out of 100

Should you watch it? Not necessarily, unless you are fascinated by old-timey American gangsters and/or a diehard fan of Hardy.
