Tom Hardy’s new film, in which he plays gangster Al Capone, is leaving many critics feeling sick, and much to the amusement of its director.
However, it’s the scenes in which Capone is shown emptying his bowels that are leaving viewers with a bad aftertaste.
Hardy’s performance has divided critics, with The Wrap writing that the actor “laughs in the face of conventional notions of good vs bad acting”.
Chronicle filmmaker Josh Trank’s new release follows Capone as he suffers from syphilis and dementia while living in Florida after serving 11 years in prison for tax evasion.
