Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's a bit like what The Godfather would have been if it had been set in "The Bank of Evil" from Despicable Me -- and if its antihero were a cipher instead of Michael Corleone.
What's lacking is most surprising from this dissident filmmaker: the emotional outrage.
The famously left-leaning Costa-Gavras is preaching to the choir in his indignation, but he does so in slick, brisk fashion.
In the end, "Capital" is just a dark comic sketch of bald-faced greed, with little nuance or real feeling.
