The Virtuoso

The Virtuoso, in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Fawesome, builds its case slowly and never cheats the reveal. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 440 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Anthony Hopkins anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

The Virtuoso is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The plotting in The Virtuoso is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. Danger, deception and murder descend upon a sleepy town when a professional assassin accepts a new assignment from his enigmatic boss. The writing gets a boost from Anthony Hopkins and Anson Mount, who sell every scene they're in. The Virtuoso came out in 2021. The Virtuoso is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find The Virtuoso proves them wrong. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Watch Anthony Hopkins work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

The Virtuoso was released in 2021, directed by Nick Stagliano. The full 110-minute film is available to watch now.
