About the film
Everyone has something up their sleeve.
What it’s about
Leonard, a former Savile Row tailor, now runs a small shop in a rough Chicago neighbourhood. His only customers who can afford his work are gangsters. One evening, a wounded mobster's son and his bodyguard burst in, fleeing an ambush by a rival gang.
What hooks you
Mark Rylance trained with Savile Row specialists at H. Huntsman & Sons to play Leonard, grounding the role in real craft. Zoey Deutch appears as Mable, and Graham Moore directs a cast that includes Johnny Flynn and Dylan O'Brien. The film was nominated for a Saturn Award as Best Thriller, and its tagline promises that every suspect fits a pattern.
Who it’s for
It is a good pick for those who like tension that builds slowly in a single confined space, with crime, double-crosses and psychological pressure rather than action set-pieces. It will also suit viewers drawn to period settings and meticulous detail.
