The Outfit is a 1973 American neo-noir[2] crime film directed by John Flynn.[3] It stars Robert Duvall, Karen Black, Joe Don Baker and Robert Ryan.
Flynn's screenplay is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Richard Stark, pseudonym of Donald E. Westlake. It features a character modeled on Stark's fictional character Parker, who was introduced in The Hunter.
Westlake called it "one movie made from a Stark book that got the feeling right. That movie is done flat, just like the books.}[4]
