Giving a film a score of 10 is a big step and I swithered about what my criteria should be. There are no perfect films so how can a film ever be worthy of a 10? In the end, I decided that to gain a 10, a film either had to have made such an impact that you recall it as one of your all time favourites, or that it's the best of its genre you have ever seen. This film scores on both counts. I watched the BluRay twice on Lovefilm a few years ago, once on broadcast television and yesterday on the BBC iplayer. It's definitely the best heist film I can remember watching. Bizarrely, I also watched The Martian yesterday too, in which Aksel Hennie has a bit part. I suspect the experience was ruined by having the excitement of Headhunters in such close (in terms of time) comparison. The Martian all felt a bit bland. I won't be making that mistake again.

If this film was from the United States, it could be easily an Oscar candidate and probable winner. It's simply a great movie. I hope that, at least, will be nominated for foreign Best Movie. The actors are very good and the film is beautifully directed. The story is intense and has lots of unexpected turning points. Clichés are not present. The action effects are very convincing and the actor even sacrifices his own hair for the added merit of the movie. Aksel Hennie does an impressive acting and probably the best role I saw from him so far. It's a very very good thriller and has all to be an hit. It's a pity that, by not being an American movie from a big studio, will probably not make into mainstream. I consider this the best Thriller movie I saw so far this year.

I found this movie by coincidence and gave it a shot just to have a sense on what a Norwegian film was gonna look like. It turned out as a great thriller that keeps you guessing what's gonna happen next. The introduction of the film is interesting: a high end recruiter guy that has a job on the side (stealing paintings from his top candidates houses so he can sell them and make good money). The guy has a very expensive life style and his main job can't afford it. But even with a good script, movies can fail if the acting, the direction and the whole rhythm of the film don't fit. This is not the case with this one. The direction was superb and the acting, specially the main character, looks very real in his role. The movie has some of the script twists as other action movies but they're worthy because you don't want the character to die before going to the bottom and see how everything is broken down. In short, this is a great thriller and you'll have a good time watching it.

"Headhunters" is a really great Nordisch movie which has to do with a headhunter who risks everything to obtain a valuable painting. In this movie we have many good interpretations and I think that all the plot of this movie was so nice that the actors of the cast must did the proportionate interpretations and I believe that they did a really great job. I liked this movie because of the interpretations of Aksel Hennie who plays as Roger Brown and Synnøve Macody Lund who plays as Diana Brown. I also think that Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau who played as Clas Greve made a great interpretation. In the direction Morten Tyldum did an outstanding work and I think that it was obvious in whole movie.

A unexpected nail-biting thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole movie.

Excellent film. I came to know about this film from looking at the company web site Yellow Bird which is the same company that produces Annika Bengston:Crime Reporter(Saw both on Netflix) which I am very fond of. Do not sleep on this film. After you watch you'll go, "I bet some US company is going to remake this film." (I've come to know that Mark Wahlberg was blown away by it and wants to remake it with him as the lead). The script is sharp and quick and keeps things moving. It has a sort of Usual Suspects appeal in that you try to figure out who's on what side. But my strong suggestion is if you like thrillers this is for you. Also, beware that there are some excruciating scenes. But this is one you WANT TO SEE. See the Original. One thing I like about these Scandinavian films is that it's always dark and cold. You just can't get away from the feel of the environment. As it should be. I hate things always warm and sunny.

So often in America we see a film so awful and we ask "How did they make this?" The Norwegian film "Headhunters" is just such a waste. You will think that it is a promising thriller but it goes so far off the rails again and again that you wonder if the Director suffered from a head injury. Imagine "The Thomas Crowne Affair" crossed with "Friday the 13th" and you'll see the inspiration in making this messy and ridiculous disaster. It is hard to choose the most revolting or ludicrous moments in this mess but instead of spoiling this rotten carcass of a film I'll just urge you to save 2 hours unless a ridiculous plot, flagrant gore and perhaps the most disgusting non-bloody scene in cinematic history appeals to you. I love bad movies but "Headhunters" takes itself so seriously that its' not even worthy of camp or irony. I have not disliked a film this much in years and ache for 2 hours back in my life.

Being from Europe and watching too many American movies, one develops the appreciation for the ones we make on this side of the ocean. It is so different from the American approach. Here, the story is the brunt and everything else revolves around it. Add proficient direction, excellent performances of the cast (especially Mr. Hennie), "familiar" camera angles and shots, fine choice of music and everything else that makes a really good movie to watch, and you'll get something like this one. And it comes from Norway, the country that really knows how to produce an excellent movie (comedies, dramas, crime ... anything). This movie does start rather slow but very soon catches up speed and with all of the twists and turns keeps your attention every second, sort of drowning you into the story, characters, taking sides and expectations. It leaves you with a certain satisfaction that you've just watched it and that is what makes a movie good. Highly recommended.

I recently saw the screen adaptation of Jo Nesbø's 'The Snowman' in cinema and thought it fell well short of the story's potential, so when I recognised Nesbø's name next to another Norwegian thriller while browsing, I thought I would see if this one did his novel more justice. 'Hodejegerne' is a slick and stylish production, a proper Scandinavian thriller with plot twists in abundance. The story is intelligent and well told, hooking the viewer from first few dramatic scenes and gaining momentum as it goes along. The characters are also intriguing, with the main character being unpredictable and very difficult to read. Depth of character and plot is becoming something of a rarity in film these days, so 'Hodejegerne' makes for a refreshing change. This is a decent, compelling Norwegian thriller, and another impressive Scandinavian production.
