Anti-heroes who determinedly set out to interprete the ambiguities of the situations they encounter as they struggle to survive in the film noir genre have long remained timely and provocative. Writer-director-producer Nick Stagliano has once again provena his skill in a making a viscerally modern crime thriller by creating a story that thrives on the subtleties and mysteries that drive the main character and plot with his latest feature, ‘The Virtuoso.’ Also fueled by compelling supporting characters, dynamic compositions and visuals, and bold suspense, the movie is a cinematic achievement, as it explores universal themes of identity, fate, guilt and redemption.
Less than the sum of its mildly intriguing parts.

A professional assassin takes a challenging small-town assignment in a thriller starring Anson Mount, Abbie Cornish and Anthony Hopkins.
You know you re in the realm of the archetype when a movie s closing credits favor descriptors over character names: The Waitress, The Loner, The Mentor and, first and foremost,
The Virtuoso s nameless title mercenary. Played by Anson Mount in a tight-jawed register, he s a killer for hire whose armor is starting to crack, ever so slightly, after a hit gone wrong. But it takes more than a little guilt to stop a killer from killing, and it takes more than a handful of archetypes and a smorgasbord of film noir tropes to make a gripping drama.

If you’ve already made your way through Netflix’s latest true-crime series,
Murder Among The Mormons, then you’ve also probably been doing some internet sleuthing about Mark Hofmann, the murderous master forger at the center of Jared Hess and Tyler Measom’s documentary. Hofmann refused to be interviewed for the production, but there’s a lot of information readily available about the 36-year-old case that goes beyond the scope of the series. Hell, there’s even a
Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode based on Hofmann’s crimes and it stars Stephen Colbert.
