Of course, this leads to a cat and mouse game with both men proving quite resourceful. Movie Review: Headhunters Review by Gabrielle Rumble A Norwegian film based on the book by crime writer Jo Nesbo about a recruitment specialist with a chip on his shoulder and a sideline as an art. Roger Brown whose work is to find the best candidate for a certain job, though he is best at his job. When a potential hire (Nokolaj Coster-Waldau) tips him to the fact he has inherited his grandmotherвЂ™s Rubens, Brown begins to plot its theft. Headhunters a thriller novel by Norwegian writer Jo Nesbo. He is not an heroic figure, but he cares about his wife and we come to care about him.Д«rownвЂ™s modus operandi for finding valuable art to steal is using his day job to scout out possible pieces. While it has a few silly or potentially ludicrous moments, it. His reason for this comes late in the film and makes perfect sense once we have come to know him. Headhunters is a brilliant darkly comic thriller which breathes new life into a sub-genre which is threatened with becoming stale. There are currently plans for an American remake.

Headhunters (original Norwegian title Hodejegerne) is a critically-acclaimed 2011 Norwegian thriller directed by Morten Tyldum starring Aksel Hennie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and SynnГёve Macody Lund, based on the 2008 Jo NesbГё novel of the same name.

Apparently this is not a high-paying profession in Norway because in order to maintain his lifestyle, he must also steal art. PLOT: Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) is an executive headhunter. Maybe it was a comedy and I missed the cues. WithHeadhunters, Jo Nesb has crafted a funny, dark, and twisted caper story worthy of Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers. HEADHUNTERS played an arthouse in Detroit, and although the audience seemed to regard it as a comedy, a good time was had by all. It is too bad that so few US thrillers get the A+ treatment that Jo NesboвЂ™s HEADHUNTERS got from the Norwegian team that produced it.

Starring Aksel Hennie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Synnove Macody Lund Written by Lars Gudmestad and Ulf Ryberg.
