Finally, a massively critically acclaimed film that I enjoyed! Although the story takes a back seat, "Headhunters" more than makes up for it by being ridiculously fun and entertaining, sporting some amazing action scenes and a fantastic lead performance by Aksel Hennie. Strangely enough, especially for this genre, it isn't particularly violent (apart from one scene, which is very much so), the humor works and there's no CGI to be found. The toilet scene is hilariously disgusting. See it. Now.

Almost a screwball comedy that just happens to revolve around theft & murder. The plot moves so fast that you barely have time to notice when it steps the wrong side of contrived - great fun.

very well directed thriller, there are some plot holes and WTF moments but overall very engaging

Watched it in Boston Independent Film Festival. This one surprised me more and more with every passing minute. It started as an above average thriller, but then turned out to be an extremely sophisticated Checkov story, where every detail counts. Aksel Hennie is a mind-blowing actor. There are two scenes in this move that I will never forget (unflinching eye and hair cutting scenes) which I can say only for a handful of films.

Far more compelling and intense than I ever anticipated; one of the most exciting moviegoing experiences I've had

This violent, implausible and darkly humorous thriller is highly entertaining. I was left never knowing where the plot would go next but found the outcome satisfying.

Weirdest norwegian film i've ever seen.

Headhunters: starring Jamie Lannister and Steve Buscemi's eyes. The story is over-the-top, and some of the main character's decisions are undeniably questionable, but the ride is never boring. That, and it teaches us that murder is actually quite easy to get away with in Norway.

endless of unlikely events pile on top of clichés. somehow I found myself enjoying the absurdities in a surely unintended way for a few minutes somewhere in the middle, but by the end of it I was getting nauseated.

This movie is all about coming to terms with having a small penis.

The first act is a dry suspense flick, the second act a sardonic comedy, the third act a moving character study. Headhunters' brilliant script sets the tables for a great movie that changes directions fluidly and sets itself up flawlessly in spite of a few expository rants and the occasional plot hole.

"Given how insubstantial Headhunters is, stopping us from thinking critically may have been the point." - Calum Marsh

A totally ridiculous movie that doesn't really work as a drama -- even though it tries hard at times -- but manages to be both tense and hilarious.

Surukleyici aksiyon-cinayet filmi.

One of those movies that coast on by, and maybe you might stop afterwards and think about some of the things that don't make sense (or maybe you won't). But who cares! It's slick, polished, acted and directed well... and most importantly, it's just a lot of fun.

Tarantino meets Guy Ritchie and then some. That would sum it up! A bit too exaggerated at times so it could have been even better if they tried to keep to plot even smarter. Nevertheless one of the most interesting movies of the year.

Best norwegian film I have watched!

Really slick and well-made, but also not all that engaging and with a rushed and unlikely ending. But yeah, competently directed and acted, especially by Hennie (however annoying and omnipresent he may be). A pretty good time.

It's not bad, it really isn't, but unfortunately - while the frantic pace of the plot and the placement of the twists tickled my love for a compelling narrative - some of it just doesn't make sense. I won't say anything here, due to spoilers, but the "villain's" motivation on the small scale remains foggily incomprehensible at best. Slick, well-made, well-acted, all-around entertaining, but it's been hyped a little past its capabilities.

This film is crazy and all kinds of awesome, like a Norwegian heist film meets "The Fugitive" on steroids. Must've been gruesome for the lead actor but the narrative arc he's subjected to made it worth my while. The pacing is flawless and direction assured, all in all, highly enjoyable. I should note I was asked to join someone at the last minute, unaware of the plot or cast, like a person taking a leap into the unknown whose outcome is uncertain. I believe this is how you should see this film.

You won't have much time to think about how ludicrous it all is because this constantly entertaining thriller never slows down. Hennie commands your attention, contrasting starkly with a wooden Waldau.

Slick, preposterous and highly entertaining thriller.

actually it was not an action!

Story is weak and often doesn't make any sense. All characters are unlikable. So what if production values are high and it looks like a Hollywood movie. Hollywood thrillers sucks anyway. There are some very graphic scenes, and some silly humor.

To many comic relief elements ruins an otherwise great norwegian thriller!
