The Telegraph
It’s testament to the artfulness of Moore and Johnathan McClain’s screenplay that your suspicions flit constantly between all four parties, and the denouement – which takes a surprising yet just about merited turn for the macabre – still manages to surprise. - 80
Screen Daily
Beautifully designed, carefully measured and expertly cut, The Outfit is a handsome debut from director Graham Moore. - 80
Arizona Republic
Among other things, “The Outfit” is a celebration of those who sit quietly, who soak in what everyone else is saying, who you overlook. - 80
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
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. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
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. - 70
Variety
If you’re picturing shades of Kubrick’s “The Killing,” but with better clothes, fewer bullets and a self-effacing English fellow quietly trying to defuse the situation, you wouldn’t be far off. - 63
Slant Magazine
The Outfit is a dapper, twist-filled crime story that relies more on dialogue than gunplay to move the action. - 60
The Guardian
It’s an entertaining, fairly overwrought piece, a little tightly buttoned.
