'Headhunters" is a frighteningly well-made thriller about an amoral art thief on the run.
"Headhunters" is a bit like an Ikea desk assembled with your nondominant arm -- sleek and attractive, but likely to fall to pieces if you look at it too hard.
"Headhunters" will indeed hand you your head.
A cat-and-mouse game with the giddy excitement of a heist movie.
It's crisp entertainment even as plot absurdities gum up the works - you can almost hear the pages turn as you watch.
The scenes of graphic violence are drawn out to the point where they overwhelm the story.
"Headhunters" isn't a pretty film, and it doesn't always entirely make sense, but it races along like a man chased by killers.
The good guy in the Norwegian "Headhunters" looks like a bad guy, and the bad guy looks like a good guy. And that's just one of the ways this dazzling movie messes with us.
HEADHUNTERS is an exhilarating thriller with great visual flare, top notch acting, and a story that will have you so involved that you'll possibly have no fingernails by the end of it!
Like a Teutonic techno band, this thriller is both skillfully familiar and chillingly strange.
...a sordid blast of delirious violence, brutal corporate satire, and male inadequacy.
This is one funny, gory, high-class crime thriller and my favorite Norwegian export since 'Troll Hunter.'
Do yourself a favor and see this one before some Yank director gets it all wrong.
Headhunters is a slick entertainment with well-orchestrated chases and bloody shootouts, though its characterizations are shallow and sketchy.
Despite the gaps in logic the movie...is cannily put together and easily holds your attention.
A brisk, violent tour of the dangerous parts of Norway.
Director Morten Tyldum keeps the plot twisting in a manner that feels both surprising and logical, but be warned: at least two of Hennie's speedily improvised escapes get pretty messy.
