The Outfit

POSITIVES

  • Set entirely in one location, we’ve got here an intriguing story of a tailor shop that gets mixed up with the Chicago gangster scene. You’re also going to learn some things about what it takes to make a good suit, and the moments highlighting that is definitely a unique flavor to this film.

  • Despite the limited things you could do in one setting, there are very distinct scenes that move things along. The third act should definitely grab your attention. 

  • The clever writing does all the heavy lifting here, so expect some smart dialogue and fast thinking lines. 

  • Some good plot turns and reveals keeps you on your toes. 

  • As expected, fantastic work by Mark Rylance, but kudos also given to Zoey Deutch, Johnny Flynn, Dylan O'Brien, and Simon Russell Beale. 

NEGATIVES

  • As mentioned, the movie is all set in one location like a bottle episode. So it’s like you are watching a stage show. 

  • Considering the setting, it’s limited in what can be done with the visuals. Not necessarily a huge cinematic experience. 

  • I can already imagine people getting bored by the dry pacing. 

  • There will also be those who just wouldn’t care for the sequences about making a suit or the voice over monologues that come with them. 

  • Some unbelievable plot and character moments took me out of the movie.
