Moore’s outstanding direction (seriously, how is this his first feature-length effort?) is stylish, subtly reeling one in, as the suspense and thrills slowly boil over. Read full review

The Outfit is not, strictly speaking, a movie about magic. Yet the gangland thriller pulls off a number of nifty tricks, with first-time director Graham Moore playing his hand with equal parts sleight and might. Read full review

The Outfit follows a pattern set by countless gangster flicks of the past, but its freshness is in the intelligence and surprise of the script. Like a well-made suit, it’s not old-fashioned — it’s classic. Read full review

James Berardinelli

In the end, the story becomes a little too convoluted and the resolution is over-the-top but, for the most part, the twists and turns keep the viewer engaged, the puzzle pieces fit together on a second viewing, and Rylance never ceases to mesmerize. Read full review

One of the pleasures of a film like this is the knowledge that a new fold is always coming. Seen in that light, occasional narrative implausibilities (of both the psychological and physical kind) recede into the distance. The Outfit is imperfect, but it works perfectly. Read full review

If you prefer to riff on the garment-making angle central to its story, the film is flatteringly and economically cut from fine cloth, cleverly constructed, and only a little marred by flaws in the finishing. Read full review

Robert Abele

Feb 15, 2022

What The Outfit doesn’t generate much of is organic suspense. With an air of duplicitousness telegraphed early on, and a handful of scenes coming off like information dumps instead of natural exchanges, many of the story mechanics strain for believability. Read full review

Just watched The Outfit, and my wife and I agree on a 7 out of 10 rating. Very well acted, but some weak areas in the story line and a couple of one dimensional characters don't allow over a 7.

Solid gangster pic. Feels like a play adaptation. Go in with low expectations and you should enjoy yourself.

Usually a story that respects the Aristotelian units of space, time and action is best suitable for a theatrical stage. Then there are directors, even debutants, in the mood to demonstrate their alleged stylistic virtuosity with a film transposition, and and as a rule the result is an asphyxiated Kammerspiel as in this case. Incredible that "The Outfit" is directed by the same Oscar-winning screenwriter for "The Imitation Game" (Tyldum 2014): the impression is to watch the Rylance of "Bridge of Spies" (Spielberg 2015), Oscar also to him as best supporting actor, claustrophobically dilated for 105 minutes.… Expand
