Film Review: The Outfit (2022) (Psychological Crime Drama)

The Outfit
2022
MA15+
Graham Moore (Director)
Psychological Crime Drama
Netflix

A British tailor in 1950s Chicago must thread a very dangerous needle when his shop becomes a battleground for a group of infighting gangsters. (Synopsis)

The Outfit was a quiet but intense drama. I was watching mostly for Mark Rylance (who is a favourite actor of mine) and I thought he was perfectly cast in the role, bringing a gentle gravitas to the part. The story was understated but intense, and the twist at the end caught me by surprise, creating an excellent finale. All up, if you like crime dramas with a psychological egde, The Outfit is well worth a watch. It gets five stars from me.
