It’s based on Hodejegerne ( The Headhunters), “the bestselling international thriller by Jo Nesbø.” Never heard of him (or her). It’s like that a lot, cross and double-cross, kill or be killed-it gets nuttier and bloodier by the minute and it rarely lets up, just the once for a deliberate gross-out outhouse break.
Let’s have a child then” and her phone rings… Choker. I love the scene right when he’s stealing the Rubens and he sees some kids playing in the street and decides to call his wife, probably to say “OK. NCW’s character used to be in black ops, tracking-that kind of thing-so our headhunter has his work cut out for him.
Eventually, of course, he steals from the wrong guy, played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, whom he meets at his wife’s gallery opening. He’s 5’6” (the film begins and ends with that stat it’s got a whack sense of humor). His wife doesn’t know any of this she thinks he inherited all his money. And he’s very good at it too-in and out in ten minutes, lest the owners return unexpectedly. He’s sort of in over his head, lots of debts and stuff, so he steals art to finance his high-flying lifestyle. He plays a high-powered corporate headhunter, hence the title (partly), who’s married these seven years to the very Norwegian-sounding Synnøve Macody Lund. Imagine the bastard child of Christopher Walken and Steve Buscemi-that’s him (no offense). It stars this guy called Aksel Hennie (he’s definitely Norwegian). It doesn’t start out nuts, necessarily, just gets more insane as it goes along. The guy from the Twilight movies? It’s also probably Norwegian. It’s one of Robert Pattinson’s favorites, apparently.
