Headhunters 2011


    Roger is a businessman in Norway who lives lavishly and way above his income.  He steals and fences art to make ends meet (poor thing).  He is very insecure about his beautiful wife Diana and he showers her with expensive gifts to stay on her good side.   At Diana’s gallery opening, he meets Clas, a man who has just retired with a three million dollar buyout.  Clas has inherited his mother’s apartment, he intends to renovate and live there.  Diana tells Roger that Clas has an authentic Rubens in this apartment.
    Why do thieves always need one last job and one last payday?  Clas is a former mercenary and an expert in using undetectable micro-transmitters for tracking people.  I would think he would be an easy mark and the best target for an art theft?  NOT!!  A lot of twists and turns but don't inspect them too closely.   3* (This movie is OK)

100 min, Mystery directed by Morten Tyldum with Aksel Hennie, Synnove Macody Lund, Julie R. Olgaard, Elvind Sander,  Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Note:  Blockbuster 4*, imdb 7.5 out of 10, 92% critic 86% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
