Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe 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."
- GoofsThe 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.
Featured review
The most boring, convoluted, incoherent nonsense hitman story ever written.
I'm curious how anyone involved with the making of this film saw the final cut and said "awesome, let's get it out there!"
I get that writers James Wolf and Nick Stagliano (also the director) are newb filmmakers, but this is just a waste of everyone's (the viewers and those involved with the film) time. A 5th grader could've written a better screenplay. It had plot and technical issues galore. There were scenes that where irrelevant and/or made no sense. It was predictable. It was implausible. It was ridiculous. And you can't just use the word "noir" as an excuse to describe this mess. The 110 runtime was excessive for the little substance the story had, and the slow pacing got to the point of making this film annoying to watch.
The cinematography and performances were the only somewhat redeeming qualities. Sad to say this film doesn't do Hopkins any favors on his resume. It's a very generous 3/10 from me.
