I disregarded all the vile comments and reviews on this movie and gave it the opportunity that it deserved given the inclusion of Tom Hardy in the cast. I should have listened to the comments and saved myself the time.

This is one of very few movies I've ever screened that I had a legitimately difficult time finishing. It was awful.

The most memorable parts of the movie all involve disassociated grunting by Capone (Hardy) and his losing control of bodily functions throughout. That's not a great thing to be remembered for, yet here we are.

The movie takes the approach of looking at Capone's life after his late life release from prison. While that premise may contain some potential, the execution here is treacherous. The filmmakers would have done better to actually try to do a genuine fact based account of the last year of the mans life rather than a fabricated corncob of delusion that we were left with.

I'm really sorry for Tom Hardy. I honestly don't feel like the end product is something that he would have signed up for given his past projects.

I'd seen a lot of good reviews about this book and was intrigued to find out why so many people though it was so disturbing and horrific. I think people have over exaggerated some of the darker aspects of this book, but it was still a gripping read.

This is a very well written book. I was hooked from the first chapter and really struggled to put it down. I'm not entirely Lowen is the most endearing of protagonists but she's bearable enough. Verity was by far the most interesting of the characters through Lowen reading her manuscript, and it was that I wanted to read more of. The twist and ending were something I surprisingly didn't predict and actually quite liked due to the rather ambiguous nature of it. I do think people may have overexaggerated how dark and disturbing this book. Yes it's dark and has more than your normal amount of sexual references and descriptions, but it isn't particularly disgusting or out there. Some people may just need to get out more! Overall though this is a rather thrilling and entertaining read and one I'd definitely recommend.
