From NetFlix:
Living way beyond his means, corporate recruiter Roger Brown steals rare artwork to maintain his lavish lifestyle. But when he plans to boost an especially valuable painting, he targets a man who has headhunting skills of a different variety.
Hold onto your seats because this plot twists and turns like an angry alligator. From one minute to the next you will be surprised by all the unexpected, and usually violent, events.
In Norwegian with subtitles, even though the actors are Norwegian, still there is a surprise in store. Just how the names of the actors are pronounced is beyond me. Aksel Hennie as Roger Brown and Synnøve Macody Lund as his drop-dead beautiful wife Diana were excellent actors that I have never seen before. However, I kept staring at Nikolaj Coster-Waldau who plays the villain Clas Greve and wondering where had I ever seen this Norwegian actor. Surprise … he played Jaime Lannister in the TV series “Game of Thrones” (which you should NOT miss!) where he seemed to speak perfect English.
Much of the plot has Roger Brown running for his life from one horrible experience to another. But his ingenuity is remarkable.
Expect an incredibly satisfying ending. But you have to also expect unending suspense.
I agree. We watched “Headhunters” this week and were on the edge of our seats the whole time! We watched the English dubbed version – I don’t recommend this – it was slightly distracting to see their mouths not align with the soundtrack of dialogue. The plot was extremely clever – impossible to guess what was coming next. I had never heard of this film, it was a great surprise (Thomas says the book is excellent as well!). Good recommendation
