‘Outfit’ movie set for Fredonia Opera House
Trending
The next film in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center is the crime thriller, "The Outfit." It will be screened Saturday and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
From the Academy Award-winning writer of "The Imitation Game," comes "The Outfit," a gripping and masterful thriller in which an expert tailor (Academy Award winner Mark Rylance) must outwit a dangerous group of mobsters in order to survive a fateful night.
Tomris Laffly, on RogerEbert.com, says "movies rarely come as chic as 'The Outfit,' a thrifty, continually unpredictable whodunit, fashioned with the same meticulousness found in the bones of a deceptively simple suit." Randy Myers, in the San Jose Mercury News, calls the film "one of the best releases I've seen yet this year." Richard Roeper, in the Chicago Sun Times, calls it "a taut, beautifully-acted period piece." Moira MacDonald, in the Seattle Times, says "Rylance anchors it all, creating a character with unexpected layers, like a suit with an elegant silk lining you didn't realize was there." Rated R for language throughout and some bloody violence, "The Outfit" runs one hour, 45 minutes.
