24 The Virtuoso

(#8) For his follow-up to his Academy Award-winning performance in The Father, Anthony Hopkins took third billing in the role of "The Mentor"—opposite Anson Mount's titular "The Virtuoso" and Abbie Cornish's "The Waitress" (hint: she's a waitress)—in this low-budget thriller about a professional assassin. Admittedly, 83-year-old actors aren't exactly swimming in offers, but The Virtuoso is especially tedious, unoriginal, and even pretentious, according to reviewers.

“It’s the sort of film that starts out bad and occasionally lapses into awful, largely thanks to a dull lead and the fact that the script has him narrating, in voice over, his every move in the second person. Read full review” —Roger Moore, Movie Nation
