The Outfit (15) ★★★★
105 MINUTES, IN CINEMAS 8 APRIL STARRING: Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch DIRECTOR: Graham Moore
THE PLOT: British expat tailor Leonard (Rylance) chalks up suits for the Chicago mob, no questions asked. But one fateful night, as a turf war escalates, he and assistant Mable (Deutch) are caught in the crossfire. WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT?
Rylance’s performance is cut from the finest cloth, while a support cast including Johnny Flynn and stage
icon Simon Russell Beale lend steel to a satisfyingly twisty script. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT?
Dialogue-heavy but action-lite, there are times when it can feel like a souped-up stage play.
VERDICT: A classy, claustrophobic gangster drama, superbly acted, it’ll appeal to those who enjoy intelligent crime movies. JAMES MOTTRAM
