Directed by Nick Stagliano from James C. Wolf's script, The Virtuoso finds a professional assassin (Anson Mount) accepting a new assignment from his enigmatic mentor and boss (Hopkins). Given only where and when along with a cryptic clue, the methodical hit man must identify his mysterious mark from among several possible targets, including a local sheriff (David Morse). Meanwhile, a chance encounter with an alluring woman (Abbie Cornish) at the town’s rustic diner threatens to derail his mission...
With Eddie Marsan, Diora Baird and Richard Brake also in the cast, cloak-and-dagger thriller The Virtuoso is out on Digital Download 30 April and DVD 10 May from Lionsgate.
