Stafford Film Theatre: The Outfit
THE OUTFIT
Graham Moore / UK 2022 / 105 min / Cert 15
Set in a genltemen's outfitters in Chicago in 1956, this old-fashioned crime thriller has a strong dialogue driven story with lots of twists on the way. Mark Rylance gives a stellar performance as Leonard Hurling, a master tailor from Saville Row. Most of Leonard's customers are gangsters who use his back room as a place for trading messages. He turns a blind eye, util a visit one evening has devastating consequences. With its action in a single location, it has been liked to a Hitchcock thriller. The Outfit follows a pattern set by countless flicks of the past, but its freshest is in the intelligence and surprise of the script (Empire).
