Mark Rylance plays an expert cutter with a shop in 1956 Chicago, but hails from England. He's caught up in one crazy night involving himself, the mob, and others, all within his shop. Armed only with his intelligence and shears, he has to outwit all that make their way into his domain.
Rylance is brilliant and carries this entire film, it is absolutely nothing without him. Due to his character, and the time period/setting, the film has a ton of class. The film takes place entirely in one location, so it seems like it would be based off of a stage play, but you may be surprised to know it's actually an original screenplay.
I agree with the current rating of 7.2 and could even be higher, but definitely deserves no lower.
