I think expectations will take away from this movie, especially the trailer. It is a slow-burning look into the psyche of a man reconciling his past with the legacy he'll leave behind, and it's certainly not pretty. Writing with an artistic flourish and beautiful cinematography shine the spotlight on an incredible performance by Tom Hardy, start to finish. Though I would've loved to see him as a prime Capone, I enjoyed what I got instead: an uncomfortable, confusing, suffocating look into the deterioration of the world's most notorious gangster.

Highly recommend this for EVERYONE. Although I think the championed bias is too much at times and ultimately reduces its effectiveness as a thought-provoking and action-inspiring movie, there is still a lot to be learned from a closer look at what (& who) got us to the current political and international climate. Unfortunately, it'll just feed into party polarization and toxic finger pointing, mocking, etc... but I am very proud to be in a country in which a controversial political movie can be this highly cast, marketed, and released Side note: Christian Bale is incredible
