    Great

    Suspenseful, fun, violent, gripping and non Americanized. The way a thriller should be done!

    Great Norwegian Thriller

    I only gave this a Go instead of a MUST GO because it is very graphically violent and might be too much for some filmgoers. Other than that, it is a complex, entertaining thriller that will not disappoint. Especially for any of you liked any of the recent Scandinavian films. What are those Northerners up to?

    One of the best movies we have seen for a long time - keeps you guessing til the end - absolutely brilliant - I'm sure Hollywood will make their own version after seeing this one - well done! Not for kids!

    HEADHUNTERS

    This is a Norway/German film. It is subtitled throughout the film. It is a captivating and spellbound thiller. The acting is great and the suspense during the last half will keep you on the edge of your seat. It has twists and turns you may not see coming until it jumps out at you. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The director moves it along at just the right pace. It flowed perfectly. I thought the writing was spot on and brought to the screen wonderfully by the screen writter. A must see if you like thrillers. There is some nudity and coarse language. The only fault I could see was that the sub-titles go by pretty fast, I would have liked them a little bit slower; but that could be just my ability to read.

    "HEADHUNTERS" GUT-WRENCHING ENTERTAINMENT FROM NORWAY!

    This stunning, exhilarating film based on Norway's most popular fiction writer, Jo Nesbo's novel, of the same name, is gruesome; a feast for cravers of guts and gore will have a gluttonously good time. Squeamish beware, you will be groaning and covering your eyes 25% of the film. "Headhunters" deifies boredom; it is horrific and hilarious simultaneously, and staggeringly well-constructed.

    ...

    "Headhunters" assiduously, exponentially plummets the viewer with genuine, pulsating pleasure; leaving the theatre lusting for more, knowing the exorbitant price of admission was worth every kroner.

    FOUR & 1/2 STARS!!!!

    Great Story

    This movie is filled with suspense, great acting and originality (which is unusual these days) Seemed to go by very quickly. Went out of my way to see this as it isn't available at too many locations in my area...I'm glad I did ..... Well worth the extra effort.

    HeadHunters

    I just saw HeadHuntersRoger, Roger (Aksel Hennie) seems to have it all but in the thirst for more gets caught up in twisted game of cat and mouse that has him risking everything to get out of! Good story line, twist, violence, with a dash of dark humor I give it a B-.
    *Note: In Norwegian and Danish with English subtitles.

    Sorry but

    by Hmazz

    Way too much gratuitous violence, and I did not read enough reviews to warn me, so some people like that- fine. But dont pretend depth when you have none. Its a sketch pretending to be more, clothed in Euro angst ( hence the black and white allure) - but just an empty thriller fashioned after Holly woods most obvious. . Each scene was crafted to manipulate the audience in the most blatant way. You dont look back and think , well I guess I could have second guessed that, because you could not have-it was loaded to make you think one way, but then that was not what was really happening? Oh Please. I really did not like this film though he gave a good performance.

    A Must See Action Movie

    Excellent! This movie had all of the action and suspense you need. Awesome. I hope they don't mess this movie up when they do the American version
