Diagonaldi Very well executed
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
eryui The main keywords of this movie are: amazing entertainment. You should not take it too seriously (does not want to be) and you might enjoy it as I did.The plot is intriguing, the direction perfect, the acting very good, especially Aksel Hennie, but it is the no stop action, the hard and funny scenes and mainly the twist, no way out, complex situation in which is the protagonist, that entertain in here.The film was able to keep me glued to the chair, to surprise me, to give me suspense and also make me smile. A whole range of emotions that I believe are essential to enjoy a movie of this kind.A fun and entertain thriller. Highly suggested.8/10
magnuslhad Roger is a headhunter by day and an art thief by night. Neurotic about his lack of physical stature, he steals art to pay for the lavish lifestyle of his trophy wife Diana. When Diana introduces him to Clas, Roger sees a chance to get a payday in both his day and night jobs. But Clas is not what he seems... Headhunters is high-octane plot that kicks into gear about 20 minutes in and never slackens the pace. Roger finds out his marriage is not what it seems, his partner in crime appears to be dead in his garage, and his mistress has more secrets than he suspected. The film combines action and comedy in the manner of Grosse Point Blank, which is does very well. It also attempts to explore themes of reputation and true love, which it does less convincingly. The schlock violence is well executed, and as long as you keep your incredulity in check, this is a very good action-comedy-thriller that entertains rather than informs. Pure plot, and mostly in a good way.
Michael Radny The first thing you'll notice about this film is Jamie from Game of Thrones is in it. But all jokes aside, this film is tense, unpredictable and at times, somewhat funny. It's a clever foreign thriller, with the right mixture of action and mystery to position you on the edge of your seat throughout. At some points in the film you do feel as if you are being played the fool, but overall this film puts out.A terrific film with great acting and a magical screenplay. There is something about this film that just has so much charm about it and charisma, that you instantly full in love with it. An awesome film.
grantss Good crime-drama from Norway.A man, Roger Brown (played by Aksel Hennie), leads a dual life. On the one hand he is a highly-respected recruitment headhunter. On the other hand, and known to only one other person, he is a highly- accomplished art thief. Then one day he robs someone and finds his life in danger...Clever, well-paced thriller, with solid direction from Morten Tyldum (whose next movie was The Imitation Game). The tension builds well and is maintained well. There's also a certain amount of intrigue and twists, as you don't know what the other party's motives are.Not perfect though. It gets a bit far-fetched towards the end, especially once you discover why everything is happening. Plus it gets to be more of an action movie than a thriller after a while.Good performance by Aksel Hennie in the lead role. Good support from Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau (of Game of Thrones fame) and Synnøve Macody Lund.
