Headhunters (2011) - 100 min

Country: Norway
Director: Morten Tyldum
Cast: Aksel Hennie, Synnøve Macody Lund, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau & Julie Ølgaard.
Roger, a corporate headhunter lives a luxury life with his tall, beautiful wife and as a side business he steals art paintings to pay the bills. His wife introduces him to a guy named Clas who claims to possess a lost art painting which is worth millions.
It's a stylish cat and mouse game between a normal guy and a cold-blooded mercenary who uses his full military skills to hunt down the opponent. It's an engaging thriller ride that will definitely put you on the edge of your seat. One of Norway's finest actors Aksel Hennie was truly convincing and very much committed to Roger's character. GOT actor Nikolaj handles the intimidating villain role superbly. Director Morten Tyldum is very good at breaking your expectations of what Roger does next, that's the real fun factor of this movie. Overall, it provides a new touch to crime-thriller movies and to date this is the best Norwegian movie that I have ever seen.
Verdict: Great
