The Outfit, one of the best gangster movies of recent years, is airing on TV tonight (Saturday, 4 April).
Set in the 1950s, the thriller follows an English tailor named Leonard (Oscar-winner Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies) who owns a shop in Chicago. There, he makes beautiful clothes for the only people who can afford them: a vicious mobster family.
One fateful night, however, Leonard finds himself entangled in the crime family's business. Their demands of the tailor have him "stitching up more than just their wardrobes".
Released in 2022, The Outfit was co-written and directed by Graham Moore (another Oscar-winner for his screenplay for The Imitation Game).
The film also features a great ensemble cast including Dylan O'Brien (The Maze Runner), Johnny Flynn (Ripley), Nikki Amuka-Bird (Knock at the Cabin), Simon Russell Beale (The Death of Stalin) and Zoey Deutch (Set It Up).
Taking place entirely within Leonard's tailor shop, the gangster thriller's inventive and twisty screenplay, its claustrophobic setting, its stylish direction and its terrific performances led to the movie garnering glowing reviews.
Boasting an 85% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, The Outfit is airing on BBC One at 10.50pm. It is also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Prime Video, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
