The term has a double meaning: it refers to a suite of garments as well as a throng. Graham Moore, a screenwriter, and author from the United States earned an Academy Award for his work for The Imitation Game, which starred Benedict Cumberbatch as WWII codebreaker Alan Turing. He has recently begun directing with his own co-written screenplay: an engaging single-location suspense thriller full of twists and counter-twists set in 1950s Chicago (Moore's hometown). Set. It's like a more sophisticated, elegant, and well-crafted version of Reservoir Dogs, with friendly gangsters pointing weapons at each other in a confined place and a one-shot hard man blasting his shotgun. Is bothered by the wound. But there's more to it than meets the eye: perhaps Hitchcock's rope. OUTFIT AFDAH

Mark Rylance plays the center with a notably serene, cool-sweet, gently spoken portrayal that occasionally hints at mischief and restlessness. He plays Leonard, a British tailor who fled his nation (for unknown reasons) to open a store in Chicago with his tailor's scissors. He is able to succeed because he is almost fully patronized by local gangsters: the ancient Capo Roy Boyle (Simon Russell Beel), who is on the field with his fantastic hothead son, Richie (Dylan'Runs Brian); Ritchie is enraged that his old man now supports a suave young lieutenant, Francis (Johnny Flynn).

These nefarious criminals frequently ask Leonard for elegant outfits, but they make their headquarters and hang out in the backroom of his shop. Leonard, a poor, sensitive man, needs to gently accept his bullying (he's a drinker himself) and go on in the industry he loves. It has given him the ability to shape men's bodies and souls: he understands what sort of people they are and how to clothe them. Leonard shows a fatherly worry for his secretary, Mabel (a strong performance by Joe Ditch), who is keeping the information hidden. Things go wrong when Roy Boyle's group is accused of selling a rat to a rival gang as well as the FBI, which is taping the purported discussions with a rat-assisted concealing device.

The lads have now captured one of these cassettes, and if they can play it, they will be able to find the bug and determine the name of the rat. But what if the rat is taller than everyone believes?

In reality, the "tape" McGuffin is a bit tiresome, and the entire film appears to operate at around 80-90 percent of its needed pace and enthusiasm at moments. There's also some style and unrealism in how the entire audience is portrayed as a sorcerer's secret organization called "The Outfit," which we already know isn't the same as Cosa Nostra. But there's also a dramatic charm and restraint in the performances (and it's time to marvel again at how British actors like Bill and Flynn play Chicago's tough boys). We know these criminal warriors are underestimating Leonard, but it is up to us to figure out what is going on.

It's a lighthearted, well-rounded composition that's a touch tight.
