Quite a fun film, although the ludicrous coincidences and contrivances of the plot make little sense if given more than a passing thought.

One of if not the best thriller screenplay I've ever seen. Just genius. Criminally underrated.

Filled with thrills, great performances and an almost uncompromising athmosphere, Headhunters is an exciting watch and adaptation that unfortunately gets held back by uneven storytelling, some dull characterization (except the protagonist) and a sense of rushness. Translated to Norwegian: Fylt av spenning, gode skuespiller prestasjoner og en nesten barsk atmosfære, Hodejegerne er en engasjerende film og adapsjon som dessverre blir holdt tilbake av ujevn historiefortelling, noe kjedelig karakteriseringer (unntatt hovedkarakteren) og en følelse av hastverk.

Part caper film with relationship notes. Mystery and thriller but slows down a bit in the middle.

This is an exceptionally entertaining film. Once the action gets going, the intensity, comedy, and twists will have you glued to the screen.

He lives high on the hog while stealing art on the side. His wife (taller than him) has an affair with an art dealer and the world gets tricky and deadly.

I watched this on DVD recently. English has been added as an option, so you either get the original Norwegian dialog with English subtitles to read, or an odd sounding characterless English translation with all of the lip sync problems which go with it. That said the film is ok. It starts well, but as the story develops it gets very violent, and I found some of the scenes unnecessarily unpleasant to put it mildly! There are a few too many plot twists which I thought undermined the film's credibility, and there is a rather out of place family values thread woven into the plot to cover all bases. By the time the credits role, the film had completely lost it's initial appeal for me. I don't recommend it.

This is why I like foreign films. Well done, well acted and original.

This is quite a fast paced crime/thriller with some pretty tense and gripping moments. The characters aren't particularly likeable (particularly the main character. Roger) and it felt a bit too fast and frenzied for my liking, as I didn't entirely follow all the plot intrecacies. The effects are decent but the film didn't feel entirely original somehow - its a decent film but it didn't entirely sit well with me overall. I've perhaps seen too many similar films lately. I can't say its entirely memorable and overall I probably wouldn't recommend this as such, no but you could certainly do worse as well - it may be worth seeing if its your kind of thing but I'll leave that up to you to decide.

The first half had me wanting to turn it off. The second half was like a completely different movie.

A fun but probably quickly forgotten thriller. Whilst it lasts the pace is rapid, the storyline simple enough whilst twisting here and there, never losing you along the way. Tense and exciting like the best thrillers but maybe just lacking that edge of class to elevate it. Nice and easy evening film though, worth getting the popcorn out for.

I started watching because of the subtitles and thought this could be interesting and then I saw Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and man I was super Intrigued and thought to my self this is gonna be good and I was not disappointed It got my full attention I super loved it you think It's something but the story gets twisted and don't even say it's the same as always because it's not and I don't care it's a movie that has everything I LOVED IT EVEN MY HUSBAND WAS ALL IN TO IT AND HE DOESNT LIKE SUBTITLE FILMS SO 2👍👍❤️❤️

Hits all the points of an engaging film. Never felt contrived or over the top.. well, just enough to feel mesmerizing and keep me on my seat. Nice surprise this one.

Hollywood should watch this movie to see how actual good film making is done. Good actors, good script, no CGI required because the director knows how to get the story on film. A rare gem in the desert of bad films.

Very nice and stylish intro. Really foreshadows all the thrill and intensity that is to come from the movie. Pretty deadpan and dry humor, and I love it. "The only thing I inherited was bad genes." Lol. Poor guy is 5 foot 6 inches. Has to overcompensate by making lots of money so he can keep his hot blonde wife happy. Oh wow, so he's a disloyal and cheating prick? I guess I kind of saw that coming, that he was having an affair with some other broad. Interesting to watch how calculated and planned this guy's actions are. You have to be pretty clever and sly to pull off this kind of shit. Incredible how smooth the whole heist went. And I guess it helps tremendously when you work alongside a guy who works for the main security system that powers all the houses. Lmao it's almost comedic how short he is compared to all these giant Nords, including his wife who towers over him. This guy's smart though. The way he creates a profile of people of interest is really interesting to watch. Hmm, things are starting to get a little dicey. His life is about to get shaky now with this investigator guy that was on the news and the other handsome good looking guy that moved from the Netherlands. I have a feeling he might be in the art stealing business as well. Wow, so people just have expensive ass art hanging in their fucking apartments in Norway? I don't think he realizes what he's getting himself into. This Dutch guy was in the army and specialized in tracking people down. Shit, that's a pretty fucked way to find out your wife is having an affair. He was basically on the job. It's only fair since he's been having an affair with that brunette. Oh shit! What if this Clas guy played a trick on him, making him think that he is having an affair with his wife but in reality he's just trying to get inside his head and fuck with him? Holt shit, things are getting crazy! Roger ended up shooting Ove because he had an uzi in his hand and now Clas is tracking him. Bro! Lmao, I can't believe he had to hide in the huge pile of shit in the outhouse. Omg there was so much shit in there lol. This movie has a surprisingly dark and wild sense of humor. Watching him scramble around through the woods covered in dry shit was pretty hilarious. The way he impales the dog on the tractor and then busts through the barn doors still with the dog attached was a wtf moment lol. So funny those two fat twin cops. So crazy all the shit he had to put himself through. Holy shit what a cat and mouse shit show this has become! I don't know who to believe anymore! My man shot Lotte with his dick! I feel like she was in cahoots with Clas. This Clas guy has been toying with Roger this whole time, planning every move so that he can be two steps ahead of him. I love the way he breaks down in front of Diana and confesses how scared he's felt all along. It's even more impactful seeing how much of a new born baby he looks like - all bald with cuts and bruises. This is kind of like him reaching his height of enlightenment, being reborn in a sense. My only worry is that Diana is working alongside with Clas. I really hope that's not the case or else I would feel betrayal to the point of sickness. Poor Roger you almost can't help but feel bad for the guy. This movie teaches us that sometimes you have to go through hell and back just so you can realize that what you have, is enough. Roger was trying too hard to impress Diana with buying her things she didn't need which he used as a facade to hide behind. To hide his real insecurities about himself and about his relationship with Diana. Man, Diana was so pretty. In the end, he made things right with Diana and she even aided him in killing Clas. Super cleverly and smartly written. The whole movie keeps you on your toes the whole time not knowing what to expect next and has a surprisingly dark and morbid sense of humor. Definitely a unique and odd thriller movie that's unlike any other thriller movie I've ever watched. Fantastic movie! I think I'd watch it again.

An outstanding thriller with good acting and suspense. Only the cinematography and music could have been better. The subtitle work was also rather flawed.

A fun and fast-paced Scandinavian thriller with a wicked sense of humor.

This Norwegian thrilldebeest stampeded my telly and left me gasping. Damn. What a flick. (Don't worry about subtitles, you'll totally forget about them in the first 10 minutes)

A intense and cool movie this thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat and one of the best modern kind of it's genre I've seen.

What starts as a seeming art heist drama ends up as something very different. The plot takes some very surprising and entertaining turns that justify calling it a black comedy even though parts of it are quite tense and serious. Just buckle up and enjoy the ride.
