2022 ( UK | USA ) ( Crime, Drama, Mystery )
Starring: Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, John Gumley-Mason
Director: Graham Moore
Chicago, 1956, and Leonard Burling (Mark Rylance), a quiet, deferential Savile Row-trained tailor, runs a bespoke gentlemen’s outfitters with the help of his assistant Mable (Zoey Deutch). But behind the cutting table and the swathes of fabric all is not as it seems. The shop is a front for another “Outfit”, a group of mobsters who use it for shadier goings-on. But someone is ratting on them to the FBI, and now Burling, known simply to the underworld as “English”, is about to be drawn deep into their bloodthirsty gangland activities.
The action is all but totally confined to the shop’s three rooms. Who – if anyone – will make it out alive? Mark Rylance gives an extraordinary performance in this gangster thriller.
