Overview
Tom Selznick, the most talented pianist of his generation, stopped performing in public because of his stage fright. Years after a catastrophic performance, he reappears in public in a long awaited concert in Chicago. Just moments after starting his performance in the packed theater, in front of an expectant audience, Tom finds a threatening message written on the score: ‘Play one wrong note and you die’. Without leaving the piano, Tom must discover the anonymous sniper’s motives and look for help without anyone realizing.

Viewing Notes
Sixth movie of my FF2013, third of Day 2 and the premier with Mira, Wood, Winter and McManus for the Q&A. Love that this is set in Chicago at the Lyric Opera. Nice exterior shots of the city and Lyric. Well-constructed thriller in the vein of Hitchcock and De Palma. So goofy that it could go off the rails at any moment but never does thanks to some clever writing. Wonderful performance by Elijah. Great to see Alex Winter on screen again. Reminds me of the assassination thrillers I used to see on TV in the 70s.
