Running time: 105 minutes. Rated R (language throughout and some bloody violence). In theaters. You wouldn’t think a modest little film like “The Outfit” would reverse the downward trend ...

John Flynn, 75, a director best known for the action movies "Rolling Thunder" and "The Outfit," died in his sleep April 4 at his Los Angeles home, his son Tara Flynn said.

“The Outfit” unfolds with the same meticulousness. Set in 1956, it’s a cleverly twisty crime story constructed of many invisible folds and threads, yet it fits Rylance like custom-made clothing.
