Headhunters

Ratings: 6.6/10

Film Class: B

Genre: Thriller

Roger is a successful headhunter who also moonlights as an art burglar. To maintain his extravagant life with his beautiful wife, he breaks into houses and steal valuable art pieces from the people he comes across, using his job as a disguise. However, things get complicated when he realises he's been baited to break into what he thought was his biggest and final heist. 

I was surprised to find out that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau also acted in this film, and if you're wondering who that is, he starred as Jaime Lannister in "The Game of Thrones". And if you're still wondering who he is, just ignore what I just said because I also only know him from "The Game of Thrones". 

Headhunters is a Norwegian film, and it reminded me of another movie, "Open your Eyes", starring Penelope Cruz. Open your Eyes is a spanish movie which blew me away with the sudden change of mood when the plot spiralled out of control. This, however, wasn't that insanely twisted. Still, it's not what it seems. As the plot progresses, the film gets darker and darker... till the point that it gets quite disturbing. 

There's no one to really cheer for, because the villain's (Nikolaj) more charismatic than the protagonist, Roger. No doubt there were suspense along the way, but at some point, I started to lose interest and everything just went downhill for me. It didn't pack a kudos killer ending, and though it opened cool, it ended flat.
