THE OUTFIT [15] 105 mins – Crime/Drama
The year is 1956. Leonard (Mark Rylance), a master English tailor who’s ended up in Chicago, operates a corner tailor shop with his assistant (Zoey Deutch) where he makes beautiful clothes for the only people around who can afford them: a family of vicious gangsters. One night, two killers (Dylan O’Brien, Johnny Flynn) knock on his door in need of a favour – and Leonard is thrust onto the board in a deadly game of deception and murder.
“A single-location thriller, a period gangster piece, The Outfit is beautifully constructed and satisfying in its shape. It's anchored by another strong performance from Mark Rylance.” Eye for Film
“In a production with no shortage of remarkable actors, Rylance’s precise performance of the prim Englishman – buttoned up in both senses of the phrase – is the driving force of the film. Leonard’s keen perception is tailored to perfection.” The Upcoming
