The Virtuoso

REVIEW - THE VIRTUOSO

Now I always say that films are like music, we all have different tastes and none can be a better example of this than the Virtuoso.

With a current rating of 4 out of 10 on IMDB AND as its new out I thought I'd give it a look see.

Actually I really enjoyed the film from start to finish, just proving what I've said above.

During the story you follow a hit man through a number of jobs, until he is given one in a sleepy town where no one is as they seem.

Very good writing, acting excellent and just simply a very enjoyable film, as the hit man tries to establish who his next target is.

I guessed very early in the film but this did not detract from the film as a whole.

If you want a story, great acting then this is one to try.

Rating 8 out of 10.

I don't know why people are so negative. I liked the slow pacing and, while I wasn't crazy about the monologue, it worked well enough. His voice is suited to it. Not a typical plot but not innovative. Satisfying enough.

A movie without any outstanding incident and pretty predictable story. The narrative voice over was added to compensate lack of excitement.

The hitman is told where and when to find his victim, but not who. No name, no picture or description, just an obscure clue. When he arrives at his destination, there are multiple possibilities for him to consider. If you can get past that premise, it is still a mediocre and predictable bore.

This was a really enjoyable film. It sets a deliberate pace and often feels delightfully moody.

No car chases or exotic fights, just a story and some good acting.

Its not for everyone but if you want a change of pace then this is a great option :)
