Review by Theo Robertson
The Outfit (1973)
Familiar But Engaging Revenge Thriller
A con is released from prison and is met by a woman just like in THE GETAWAY, then finds himself pursued by wise guys because he robbed a mafia bank just like in CHARLEY VARLICK. It even features Joe Don Baker just like in.... ! But don’t be fooled because despite its similarities between itself and other 70s films THE OUTFIT decides to go its own way. Robert Duvall is excellent in a thriller that’s a good throwback to the pre Tarantino days
