Headhunters Review
Stern Norwegian Roger Brown (Axel Henny) has a height of just one meter sixty-eight centimeters, which for the country's tall northerners are considered shamefully little. However, Roger has a steel rod in character, so he's figured out from his youth what exactly can be done compensate for your physical Lack. Mind, ingenuity and - Money! Roger always knew he must make a lot of money -- then he will have all sorts of benefits that always brighten up even the smallest growth and disadvantages of appearance, and high northern girls will give him their Favor.
And so it turned out. Roger studied hard, then worked hard and eventually became the owner of a famous firms to recruit top managers for largest firms. Brown is great. specialist in his field, and his recommendation for employers is the defining one.
However, in the harsh Norwegian edge, where everything is insanely expensive, Roger all equally not enough money to live the way he wants, and besides, he seeks to fulfill any wishes of its Diana's beautiful wife (Sinneve Makodi Lund), who wants to become the owner own art gallery.
That's why Roger acquired an interesting hobby - he steals expensive paintings from his clients. The scheme has been worked out to the smallest detail. By work Brown talks to job seekers top managers and cautiously asks if they have any art objects, who visit the day at home, there's no dog and so on. Collecting information and prepared, Roger goes to work. Alarm in The house shuts down Roger's accomplice - Uwe policeman, who then drives paintings to the reseller and gets for it a significant percentage of the profits.
This is a small hobby gives Roger a solid additional income, which allows him to maintain the house and perform all the whim of his wife, who is holy sure Brown is so good earns in his office.
Somehow once Roger has a new client - Dutchman Claes Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). He's running for the top manager a large communications company, and it's kept at home by the real Rubens - painting worth a hundred million Dollars.
Certainly Brown couldn't get past such a meal - If you steal a picture like that, then you can at least not work for the rest of your life. However Claes in the past - a commando, and besides that he was working hard and introducing a variety of espionage Devices. So this time a hobby Roger can be deadly.

Long I've never seen such a high-quality thriller. This film is based on the book by Y. Nesbe "Bounty Hunters," genre it for some reason refer to being a militant though it's not even near the action movie, namely thriller or detective thriller.
Hollywood detective thrillers I usually try don't look, and one simple reason: the logic in the plots of these thrillers And I didn't sleep. You look at this case, like everything is interesting and exciting as well then you get to the end, you start in head unwinding the plot from the end to top -- and it's completely falling apart, like a house of cards. Because in Hollywood is often for the sake of spectacular plot twists sacrificing logic narrative, and at times it seems that they just hold the audience for idiots.
In here That's not even around. In the film There's a very complicated intrigue, which at first even seems a little stretched and illogical, but here just a promotion from end to top shows how good the creators are (and, of course, the author original novel) have thought through everything plot moves. Everything is logical, everything is fine explained, almost everything is clear is part of a pattern of events.
Acting work - especially Axel Henney and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau It's just great. Henny was more complicated than that. all -- he portrays a man with large complexes, which, however, has a rare sense of purpose and to achieve their goals - at least unseemly -- won't stop at all before Than. And when his amusement with objects of art become deadly dangerous, Roger, as cornered rat, in despair rushes at the enemy, who on all all articles much stronger than him. But Roger will do anything to survive.
Axel Played just great, he's great Actor. See how different this his Roger throughout the film. He's a good manager, he's a great manager. patron, then a cold-blooded thief, and suddenly -- a mortally frightened man, who has faced significant superior to his power, but a little later he's so desperately fighting for his life in virtually hopeless situations that few people are capable of it.
To me especially remembered one episode in the very beginning when Roger comes on show to Diana. When it fits get to know this Claes and depicts a warm smile on his face, and then departs -- and on his face appears expression of deadly hatred: he's the same knows that Diana and Claes are lovers. Well played, just fine!
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (this Danish actor well known fans of the series "Game of Thrones" is very spectacular looked like a Claes. He's kind of handsome. but at the same time you can see that a person very, very dangerous.
Foolish Uwe policeman - a fan of Russians Eiwind Sander, too. it turned out very well. In casting, not written, who played the prostitute Natasha, but clearly Russian -- in one episode she without any accent, I was sincerely smothered. In Russian.
Photographed it's all realistic and pretty tough - so that viewers can properly feel the situation turned out to be the main character. And that's the approach in my opinion, fully justified.
In the In general, the thriller turned out - wonderful. Strong, exciting, with a credible storyline and great game Actors. I loved it - Recommend.

Oh, the movie just came to me (or I'm up to the movie) and we've already discussed it all 😄
Hmm, I don't know what the book describes, but I also think, as they wrote in the comments above, that Roger's wife didn't cheat on him before the party. And roger's look at this party was because he was jealous and complex. First, Roger very convincingly demonstrates the Aztec surprise when he realizes that in the apartment of Klaas is his wife's phone. Second, his wife says he and Roger had a fight, and Klaas was so good. At the same time, the moment of the altercation also shows, he was after the party. That is, Roger's wife cheated once - after they had a fight. I didn't like the film very much.
And where is the accomplice a policeman when it is clearly a private security firm?
The plot is tied, imho, just masterful. Everything is absolutely logical and perfectly calibrated, well, with two exceptions - needles in the car and a dog in the barn. Neither Klaas nor "HOTE" knew about Roger's "hobby". The picture is an excuse to go out to Roger's wife, so that their acquaintance with Klaas did take place. I'm guessing Klaas didn't even know about the stolen painting. At the same time, it is the beginning of the whole plot - thanks to the theft Roger learns about his wife's infidelity, because of what he intends to prevent the admission of Klaas to work. And it serves as an additional intrigue for the viewer - almost to the end of the film it seems that Klaas seeks to kill Roger precisely because of the picture. The fact that Klaas slept with Roger's wife -- well, that's the excess of the performer. Combined the pleasant with the useful. With the needle, it remains only to assume that Klaas began to act immediately and immediately at night climbed into the garage to Roger. It is strange only that, unlike all other plot twists, this one remained unexplained. And with the dog really incomprehensible - where was Klaas all the time while Roger fought with her and ran away on a tractor.
I thought roger's murder was long over the corner, too. It was enough (knowing about his hobby) to blackmail, or (without knowing) just to scare. The lack of a control shot is also embarrassing, but it has already been written.
Couldn't watch this movie, turned it off 30 minutes from the start, apparently I'm too intellectually low for it.
And the name of the company is very similar to HOTTER - it seems that even a small circle inside the letter O is.
As always delivered by those who translate the names into Russian. "Bounty Hunters," just a horror movie of some kind! A lot of heads cut? 😄
Alex, correct the inconsistency text. 1. Roger is unable to maintain the house and his wife even stealing paintings. In one episode, his accountant on the phone says that he has a debt of 100,000. And in another episode, after the sale of the picture, Roger himself complains that this money will not be enough even to pay for the house. 2. Maybe I have a different translation, but Rubens was worth 10 million, not 100.
Well, not everything in this thriller I get it. For example - who killed a farmer and why? And how? It's not shown at all. Then - the dog that attacked the main character, was alone - where at that time was its owner? Wonder. About the toilet already said - unrealistic all this, well, any professional of course would blow up the car with corpses to all the hell. Otherwise - everything is very good, after all, book stories are always felt behind the script.
I didn't like it. Doberman was clearer.
I don't know what it takes for everyone? I think it's less logical. I'm more interested in the moment about the car thrown off the cliff. If he's all such a coached commando, what the hell didn't check his pulse, smacked in the blood of smearing? What prevented the control to do? I haven't heard of checking out whether a person is alive or dead, looking at the eye, maybe I just don't know? And everyone says Graf wanted to dunk the main character because he stood in his way to the post. Well, maybe, then, why was the whole circus with the picture? Thought to take the main character on a short leash and get him to knock out the post ... After all, HOTE knew about how the hero moonlights, I assume that this could simply blackmail him and easily achieve the desired position and prospects for his company. Where's the logic? . Why would the main candidate for a coveted position personally engage in dirty work? This is an undue risk for HOTE, he could have been accidentally shot, arrested and with what will the company remain with? To do this, use simpler shapes. What suddenly Graf is interested in is what the main character is doing with the dead Uw and what has gone between them. If you destroy the target, shoot, not chew snot. Well, the camera the size of a fist no one noticed ... The logic here is not thick in my opinion, but the film is really not bad
And! That's when the filmmakers intervened. I haven't seen the movie yet. In the book, the trailer was on the highway and Roger was in the car upside down between two dead cops waiting for him to leave and feared Claes would come. Finally, to his great relief, the trailer left.
Well, you give a pancake... Spoiler after spoiler... You wouldn't be patted on the head at the forum. Well, if i get drunk, I'll bring my five cents. On a tip rushed to swing not a film, and read a book. The logic book is fine. Such a complicated scheme with his wife was justified and worth the candle. After all, winning is not a position, but what she promised. Especially since the organizers had the first option to go to Roger, but he failed. So I don't see any tension. Is it only one - how Class instantly was able to perform the operation with a capsule under the ass in the car. On the timekeeping does not work - in the evening Roger tells Diana that will be against the cannibalization of the Class, she calls on the phone, at night in the car Roje already sees Ude unconscious. Claes didn't shoot a point because at first he wasn't sure Roger was there - the transmitter didn't work in liquid environments. Secondly, even if he had such an idea, he better wait until Roger gets out, well, he'll get him in the push and what? He needed proof that Roger was dead, how would he get it - to catch a corpse out of shit? So it's all logical here, too. That's with the trailer pumped up. A real professional would come to the car to make sure that everything is done properly and the client is dead. But let's write it down on the same magic that helps the main character in all action movies and thrillers.
Loybykanah: A true professional would come to the car to make sure everything is done right and the client is dead. He came over and made sure. Or what are you talking about? How did the car and the cops fall into the abyss? He came up and looked at the "corpse" for a long time, decided that he was deader than the dead, and only then left.

Looking forward to the Hollywood version with Tom Cruise 😄

Alex, do you watch Game of Thrones?
Hmm... This is the first movie in the last 10 years when I jumped on the couch. That's when Roger drowned a cop's corpse... :)

Alex Exler: Uwe police man,
And I feel sorry for the police brigade... Which Roger was taken from the hospital... It's a great quartet! It is a pity the authors of the plot so quickly and so inhumanely "got rid" of them.
I actually wrote a review of it. Alex Exler( 13.02.12 19:32 ) No way!!! :)
Even more like Walker)
frankacid: Even more like Walker) Dadada, I've decided on Walker, too. And my wife doesn't agree with any. But when he is at the beginning in a mask, where you can only see the eyes - it's um ... Putin in a mask... 😄
frankacid: Even more like Walker)
Axel Henney looks like Steve Buscemi, and plays just as cool)
Alex, the review says Y. Nesbe. Point not in the subject after the name of 😄
Alex, if you liked this film, I advise you to watch the European version of the film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" 2009. In my opinion it looks like it's taken up an order of magnitude higher than the Golewood stuff.

Although I did not serve in the special forces and the top manager did not work, but the brains a couple of times to shoot in the cesspool I would have had enough in such a situation. And you say realism... Although the comedy is not bad - only a trip on a tractor or improvised pillows of safety of fat people are worth it.
that's why you "guessed" to shoot in the cesspool, because you never had to deal with real weapons. the probability of getting into such a blind shooting is almost zero. even if you empty the entire store. much more likely was the hero just within minutes of burning from the gases accumulating near the surface ... Mmm... contents of the cesspool. and in any case, he had almost no chance to get out of there on his own. the filmmakers also failed to come up with a way, as they just bypassed this moment.
Dargl: Although I did not serve in the special forces and the top manager did not work, but the brains a couple of times to shoot in the cesspool I would have had enough in such a situation. And you say realism... 😄 you wouldn't have the brains to shoot the cesspool.

Over the past weekend, he discovered Scandinavian cinema - "Bounty Hunters" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Both are great! We're going to have to look for something else in the torrents. Oh, by the way, Alex, in "My" Bounty Hunters, Klaas was Dutch.
slava_sar: Oh, by the way, Alex, in "My" Bounty Hunters, Klaas was Dutch. And this is a classic example of a translation error. "Dutch" means "Dutch" in English, not "Dutch," as one might think. It is interesting that only who is taken as translators, if such children's mistakes slip through....
slava_sar: Oh, by the way, Alex, in "My" Bounty Hunters, Klaas was Dutch.
2 Fedotov Sergey, yes, probably you're right, the picture is not a bait for Roger, but a means to contact his wife. If there's no easier way to meet Roger, that's an option.
Nous Mellon: 2 Fedotov Sergey, yes, probably you're right, the picture is not a bait for Roger, but a means to contact his wife. If there's no easier way to meet Roger, that's an option. About it in general that direct text, says Roger's mistress 😄 Rewind, at the moment where he comes to her.

The phrase "It's all taken down realistically and quite harshly" immediately cooled my interest in the film. To what extent is this "realistic" filmed? In the last picture in the review, what's the red thing?
I'm already rocking the tfu, running for the DVD.
Just yesterday I read positive reviews about this film and pumped out for review. We're going to have to watch.
Totally agree with the review. Looks at one breath. All the ingredients are mixed very talentedly (cruelty, humor, intragiga, fights-shooters-chase).
Alex, EMNIP, when there is an acquaintance in the gallery, the hero does not know about his wife's infidelity. This fact is discovered in the robbery. However, the dislike of the Class arose immediately, as a reaction to the high handsome sweetheart with your wife. Next. The motives of the Class are not entirely clear. There was a task to infiltrate the competition. I should have used Roger. Why risk seducing your wife (throw information about the picture can be much easier)? What is the justification for further bullying Roger, how does it contribute to getting a job? From a logical point of view, the operation is stupid and unthought out. In my eyes, the plot is trotted out and there is only a decent acting and curious authenticity. Ps by the way, in my dubbing was Rubbens

Why risk seducing your wife (throw information about the picture can be much easier)? What is the justification for further bullying Roger, how does it contribute to getting a job? Further bullying Roger, justified, without him Klasno would get a job, employers were ready to sign the contract at least now! Only Roger could change their mind!!! He was going to do it!!! On the account of his wife, - About the picture should not have been thrown in!!! "To introduce Kla and Roger, Roger's mistress was supposed to be. And since he sent her, had to urgently change the plan of action, throw in information about the picture through his wife, what she would introduce ... one with the other. No one knew Roger was going to try to steal the painting. 😄 So it's all clear.

If you read the novel Yu Nesbejo: Bounty Hunters, your doubts about the thoughtfulness of the plot and motivation of the characters will disappear. The writer specially prescribes everything clearly, and since the film does not manage to tell everything because of the lack of time, something begins to seem stretched. The film misses a number of scenes and conversations, important for understanding the bottom of all this parsley. (except for 12 episodes of snoot) Nous Mellon :
I was also struck by the transformation of the main character, Henny played beautifully! And from Waldau came such waves of danger that I am still tormented by the question - could I in Roger's place repeat the feat in the toilet? I don't want to check. Excellent thriller -tense, logical, naturalistic, exciting, similar sensations received from watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (naturally, original, not Hollywood).
I wonder if the typical Norwegian name "Roger Brown" is how they adapted all sorts of Gunnars and Christiansens for the film, or was it the same in the book?
Yes, a good movie. Only to me Roger seemed unnecessarily combative.
Thanks for the recommendation, yesterday this film saw in the torents, but somehow did not imbue with the description and did not pay attention that it is Scandinavian-German (and Scandinavians are able to make a very good movie a little away from the Hollywood-European mainstream). I'll see for sure. By the way, if you like Henney, I advise you to watch "McManus, man of war." Very good military drama about Norwegian resistance during the Second World War.
it's fate - 2 minutes ago thought whether to watch, here reviews did not find, and 2 minutes later came a link to rss to this post 😄
