Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) seems to have it all, a top corporate headhunter with a beautiful wife, and all the lavish trappings of a successful life. Cocky and supremely arrogant, reputation and taking risks is everything to Brown. Brown also leads a double life, which is possibly even more lucrative. He meets his match in Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Walda). Greve is cockier still, wealthier,
overall it was a pretty good film with lots of action. It has a Tarantinoesque ending too.

OMG! What a great movie, I not really sure why the Critic's scores are so low but this is a must see action drama, very smart and well played out... I am glad I took the risk, I just might pay to go see it again and I don't do repeats.
This movie is probably the best movie I have seen in years. Put Tarantino, Stone and the Cohen Brothers together and you get \"Headhunters\". There are some scenes where I caught myself saying \"you have got to be kidding\" or \"I hope the other people in the audience are not going to have a heart attack\". I just had to laugh because there were so many crazy

Headhunters has less in common with the somber, brooding tone of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" than the cheeky black comedy "In Bruges." Full Review

The film has some fairly grisly violence, but also considerable humor and the sort of intricate, thought-through storytelling you'd expect from Hitchcock or the Coen brothers. Full Review

The compact Hennie is a wonderful actor, smoothly congenial when confident, uproarious when rattled. And he will be rattled-as well as stabbed, shorn, bitten, mangled, and worse. Full Review

At a time when many mystery thrillers fall apart in the final fifteen minutes, Headhunters maintains its integrity. Full Review

Wall Street Journal
A transgenre thriller that glides effortlessly from crisp social commentary through off-kilter comedy to paranoid terror, it's on my short list of the most enjoyable movies in recent memory. Full Review
