Headhunters

Despite his small height (only 1.68 cm tall), Roger seems to have everything: he’s the most successful headhunter in Norway, is married to a gorgeous gallery owner and lives in a luxurious home. To add to his income, however, he takes up another profession: that of the thief of very expensive works of art. One day, he will have the chance to set up one last big job, which will relieve him of all of his debts; because of some strange events, however, from a hunter he’s turned into the prey, running for its life. Based on Jo Nesbo’s best-selling novel of the same name, the talented Morten Tyldum’s third film is a tour-de-force of breathtaking action and suspense. Fancy direction, naked bodies and blood flowing profusely, in a dark Scandinavian thriller following the footsteps of the “Millenium” trilogy.
