It might follow a familiar formula with the usual red herrings but director Mortem Tyldum along with his star Aksel Hennie aren’t fond of playing by the rules. Headhunters moves deliciously between kinetic thrills and outlandish craziness as the mystery-thriller hurtles towards a suitably twisted finale. When Brown breaks into Greve’s apartment and finds his wife’s phone lying by the bedside, things begin to spiral out of control.
A former soldier and surveillance expert, he has become a leading figure in the technological advancement of tracking suspects. To suppress his own feeling of inadequacy he enjoys a passionate secret affair with a local brunette, while moonlighting as an art thief to service his high-rolling lifestyle.īelieving town newcomer Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) has a very expensive original Ruben painting in his possession, he enlists the help of his friend and accomplice Ove (Eivind Sander) to carry out one last job that will make them both rich beyond their dreams. So while his wife is constantly looking down on him, he is always looking to sustain her needs by lavishing his goddess with gifts and bankrolling her desire to run an art gallery.
At least he thinks he’s too short at five foot six (or, as he tells us, 1.68 metres) to sustain a relationship with the taller Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund). Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) has it all – a high-flying job as a corporate headhunter, the beautiful Scandinavian blonde and the imposing post-modern Nordic abode.
