Review of Headhunters (2011) by Jimboesq — 04 Sep 2012
Norway's top corporate headhunter, Roger Brown, is an insecure, slightly built man married to a tall beautiful woman who he looks up to. When she opens an art gallery , he seizes on an opportunity to rise from a small part-time art thief to the big leagues.
His plan runs a cropper when he tries to steal a Rubens painting from would-be CEO, Clas Greven, who unfortunately for Brown, is also an ex- navy seal type. Claus has a plan too. This is an action packed thriller, with social commentary and significant psychological insights.
In other words, not for most American audiences (Yes, that means it has subtitles, and you have to be able to read and watch simultaneously). This film has elements of the best of suspense/action directors like **** Coppola and Greenglass, and if you love action films with gorgeous complex women, great story and plot, and credible leading men who are not caricatures, then you should see (or rent ) this film.
