The Virtuoso is a 2021 American neo-noir crime thriller directed by Nick Stagliano and written by James C. Wolf. The film stars Anson Mount as a professional assassin known only as “The Virtuoso,” who is assigned a cryptic mission by his mentor (played by Anthony Hopkins) to eliminate a target in a small-town diner, armed solely with the time and location of the meeting.

As he navigates the diner, he encounters a series of enigmatic individuals, including a waitress (Abbie Cornish) and a deputy sheriff (David Morse), each of whom could be his intended target. The film delves into themes of morality, identity, and the psychological toll of a life steeped in violence.
