Headhunters
admin under Uncategorized
My favorite movie of the year, so far: Headhunters. It’s from Norway and it’s a gem. It’s a crime thriller with more twists and turns and unexpected laughs than anything since the Coen brothers put out Fargo. Trust me, I watch probably a movie every evening, sometimes two. I like foreign films. I like chick flicks. I like them all. But this is by far my favorite of the year. It’s a noir thriller, slickly filmed, beautifully acted and it has the added panache of being filmed in Norway, so you get the travel experience, too.
We saw it on Netflix streaming.
Excellent recommendation! I watched it last night. The truly horrific, and rapidly expanding situation the narrator finds himself in, and the fact that you find yourself laughing at some of it, gives it that uncomfortable (but entrancing) edginess found in the best Coen films.
I found it like a cross between a very slick crime movie like The Thomas Crown Affair (either version) and the Coen brother’s Fargo.
