Named for the lead character's job - a corporate headhunter, not a tribal one - this spins a story that is so original, so full of surprises, and so gripping, that it's bound to get an American remake - this original is in Norwegian.
Roger Brown is a headhunter who helps fund his expensive lifestyle by stealing art. That alone provides grounds for an inventive story. But the trouble he gets into when he tries to steal an alleged Reubens from the former CEO of a Dutch company, and the lengths he goes to in an attempt to get out of that trouble, all add to the depth and color of this film.
I'm nowhere near doing this film justice, but I don't want to give away any those turns and twists.
The fact that this is in Norwegian, with English subtitles, means just one thing - that most people will not see it. And that is a huge shame.
