"Headhunters" is based on Jo Nesbø's best-selling Norwegian thriller and stars the talented Aksel Hennie as Roger, a charming scoundrel and Norway's most accomplished corporate headhunter. Roger is living a life of luxury well beyond his means, and stealing art to subsidize his expensive lifestyle. When his beautiful wife introduces him to a former military special operative in possession of an extremely valuable painting, he decides to risk it all to get his hands on it, and in doing so discovers something which makes him a hunted man. With double-crosses, mistaken identities, and the threat of violence around every corner, this is a taut, fast-paced thriller that reels you in and won’t let go."Four stars…This is a Scandi-noir to die for. A crazily amusing thriller."
