Excellent gangster mystery movie, one might say a filmed stage play, because everything takes place in three adjacent rooms of a tailor shop, but it's all more engaging and thrilling, than 90% of other movies, taking place in dozens exotic locations.
Mark Rylance is great as always, love Zoey Deutch, but the discovery here would be Johnny Flynn, an unknown to me actor/singer from Johannesburg, that reminded me heavily of Gregg Henry, to the point of thinking it was his son or younger brother or something.
Not as amazing as one of my top 5 films of all time, The Tailor of Panama, but with a similarly satisfying ending. Much recommended!
