Clothing:
Scott: Dark suit, long black coat, black shoes, black hat & dark scarf.

Tony: Dark suit, long black coat& black shoes.
Why- semi-smart to give the impression that they are smart and professional, also similar to other characters in other thrillers (e.g. Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels has all of the ben wearing smart-casual clothes).

Gangster 1: Baggy t-shirt and jeans, baseball cap, white trainers.

Gangster 2: Baggy t-shirt and jeans, bandana, big coat, white trainers.Boss: Business type suit and shoes.
Why- hip-hop styled modern-gangster clothing to help show that the film is a modern thriller rather than all old-styled suits (typically common in film noirs), and to help give the audience an idea of what kind of people the characters; it may lead the audience to believe they are in a gang of somewhat and give other clues to their backgrounds.
