'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.
Suspenseful, wickedly funny and clever, Headhunters offers more bang for your buck than most modern crime thrillers.
"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.
