"Headhunters" is a well-oiled, nasty machine.
That's some good acting by Hennie, but it's also good writing by co-scribes Lars Gudmestad and Ulf Ryberg. They freshen up familiar caper and thriller tropes, adapting the bestselling prose Norwegian crime writer Jo Nesbo.
This Norwegian thriller has a winning cutthroat perversity.
At a time when many mystery thrillers fall apart in the final fifteen minutes, Headhunters maintains its integrity.
The sex, nudity and violence are nonstop, but that's what makes "Headhunters" exciting entertainment.
Brown's panic is capably rendered, but his ordeals are not worth enduring to the bitter end.
Headhunters works best when punishing its lead excessively, continuously, and for no apparent reason.
...a first-class thriller with tension-enhancing music and Hitchcockian-quality cinematography highlighted by a sparkling performance by Aksel Hennie.
To say too much about this taut, and often quite gory, shocking and surprising twisty mystery would spoil the freezer-burn fun.
I can't remember the last time a movie surprised me as much as "Headhunters": not just its story twists and turns, which are considerable, but its continual stripping of character veneer and overall audaciousness left me breathless.
A nasty little crime thriller from Norway that twists you into a state of tense uncertainty right up to the end.
Headhunters is ridiculous, macabre, fun - see the original before it's irrevocably ruined by it's Hollywood remake.
With the twists of a cyclone and humor that on occasion edges close to farce, it's a knife-cutting satire that's not above a bellylaugh.
Acting is first rate, with a stellar turn by Aksel Hennie, and direction by Morten Tyldum is solid. I love seeing a terrific film from a place where you least expect it.
Darkly comic thriller from Norway in which a corporate headhunter who moonlights as an art thief gets a terrifying comeuppance.
Headhunters' title rapidly turns literal, and what seemed like a lightweight heist thriller careens into a bloody-minded game of cat and mouse.
