Le virtuose

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 :)

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.

It's an unusual film with a slightly uneven plot, but it kept my interest until the end altho' the reason why it ends like it does are unclear but I'm guessing there's no honour amongst thieves (or hitmen). Decent performances from all concerned and if you fancy a slow burner with a few twists you could do worse than watch this. 7.5/10.

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.

It is definitely slow paced, but not boring for a minute; it reminded me of George Clooney's The American. It's certainly not full of action, but the conversations and narrative reflections carry it through.

Reviews say it's predictable; I definitely did not see the plot twists coming.
