Anthony Hopkins, Abbie Cornish, and Anson Mount in The Virtuoso (2021)
Danger, deception, and murder descend upon a sleepy country town when a professional assassin (Anson Mount) accepts a new assignment from his enigmatic mentor and boss (Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins). Given only where and when along with a cryptic clue, the methodical hit man must identify his mysterious mark from among several possible targets, including a local sheriff (David Morse). Meanwhile, a chance encounter with an alluring woman (Abbie Cornish) at the town's rustic diner threatens to derail his mission in this noir-style cloak-and-dagger thriller.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The coded note The Virtuoso receives at the start of the film reads:

      "Once there was a worn and withered old man too set in his ways, bound by routine to have the fore-sight to understand that in all his seventy-six years he's always done the same thing, ate the same food, chose the same colors, won the same battles. His life a breathing pentagon: home, work, rest, eat, dream. From age eighteen he'd never questioned his lot. Until, the trinity... and the agony of realization that a life lived can never be re-lived."
    • Goofs
      The virtuoso is so careful, yet when he poisons the man in the motel he takes off his gloves when handling the glass. Which would leave obvious fingerprints.

      Mistaken observation. He touched the glass once, swirling it to dissolve the powders he added. He put his glove on that hand before touching it.

    3/10
    Messy plot, predictable twist, and very shallow characters
    Ok, at first I got hooked by the trailer, which set me to expect something good out of this movie, and by Anthony Hopkins, who's (usually) a safe bet. And it was a mistake, I admit!

    All characters are pretty flat and shallow, dialogue is superficial and performance is disengaging (specially Abbie Cornish!), and sequence of event's does not make any sense

    Put all of that aside. Finishing the movie in retrospect I asked myself: WTF just happened??? The only answer my super ego dictated was that I wasted another 1:30 hrs of my life due to not responding to my gut feeling that it's a trap!

    I really wanted to like this movie, but I couldn't. 5 stars for cinematography and Hopkins performance, zero for everything else except Abbie Cornish's performance that is -2!

    If you find this review unhelpful (which is a sorta true) then imagine your disappointment when you watch this movie! Sorry.
