Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/5 --
A grisly, darkly comic ride that will appeal to those who loved Larsson's garish, tawdry books.

HEADHUNTERS has the stylish look of a high-end Hollywood thriller...

Rating: 3/4 --
By film's end, we're deep into Coen brothers territory, with an extra splash of Sam Raimi-level gore.
Miami Herald
Rating: 4/5 --
"Headhunters" is an absurd amount of grisly fun, which is a good thing, since, looked at in any great detail, it probably doesn't hold up all that well.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Watching [Aksel Hennie and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau] play a kind of cat-and-mouse game, with unbelievable stakes, is pure entertainment.

Washington Examiner
A transgenre thriller that glides effortlessly from crisp social commentary through off-kilter comedy to paranoid terror....[One] of the most enjoyable movies in recent memory.

Product Description:
A man living on both sides of the law is caught in a dangerous game in this thriller from Norwegian director Morten Tyldum. Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) makes his living as a corporate recruiter, finding talented people who work for other companies and making them lucrative offers to join the firm currently signing his paychecks. Roger's work brings with it a handsome salary, but he suffers crushing insecurity when it comes to his beautiful wife Diana (Synnove Macody Lund), and he constantly showers her with expensive gifts in hopes of staying on her good side. Between Diana's expectations and the equally expensive tastes of Roger's mistress Lotte (Julie R. Olgaard), Roger needs cash, so he's taken on a high-paying second job -- stealing rare works of art. Roger is just good enough and smart enough to know that he'll get caught eventually, and when he learns of a man with an authentic Rubens, he hopes to make one last score that will keep him well-set for a long time. But Roger soon finds out there's a catch -- the man with the painting is also someone he's supposed to recruit for a client, and he's clearly a few steps ahead of Roger. HODEJEGERNE (aka HEADHUNTERS) was an official selection at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
