Roger is a charming scoundrel and Norway’s most accomplished headhunter. He lives a life of luxury well beyond his means and subsidizes his expensive lifestyle by stealing highly prized art. When his beautiful wife, an art gallery owner, introduces him to a former mercenary in possession of an extremely valuable painting, he decides to risk it all in order to obtain it, and in doing so, he discovers something that makes him a hunted man himself.

Brilliant psychological thrillerDirector Morten Tyldum has made an exciting, moving thriller and could be called the modern, Norwegian incarnatation of Alfred Hitichcock. All the Hitchcockian themes are there: the evil doppelganger or mirror image of Roger Brown in his nemesis, Clas Greve; the romantic obsession with the blond trophy wife; Roger's smug, arrogant public persona covering up a deeply conlficted neurotic who thinks his wife couldn't possibly love him for himself unless he throws wads of money at her; the disdain he has for his partner in crime, Ove, who is just merely another facet of his cynical personality. And like all Hitchcock heroes, he must sink literally into the depths of the muck of his dilemma in an outhouse and begin his transformation back to his real self. Great score by Trond Bjirknaes and Jeppe Kass, one of the best modern musical scores I've ever heard. Fantastic editing with many jump cuts and a taut script that provides many moments of dark comedy and thoughful poignancy. And of course, Roger Brown, the corporate headhunter, is only 5'6" tall and his character reminds me so much of Claude Rains relationshio with Imgar Begrman in Htichcock's great classic "Suspicion." Another excellent example coming from the New Wave in the Scandinavian renaissance in film. One of the few aspects of globiztion that benefits us in so many ways if we love the art of filmmaking. Hollywood could learn a great deal from thesefilms in how to make really exciting cinema that satisfies on so many levels and yet make it on a very cheap budget..Score: 5/5

Best action movie of 2012Never thought I would enjoy a movie in Norwegian but I absolutely loved it. Specially as I always know what happens next but not this time... Gripping to the very end!,,.Score: 5/5
Another Incredible Foreign Film!This movie is about a recruiter/headhunter who is really an art thief, and the trouble he gets himself into. That is all I want to say without spoiling it. This movie has it all. Action, suspense, horror, drama, comedy and believe it or not there is even some reference to a western! I haven't enjoyed a film so much in a long time, and if you don't mind reading subtitles I highly recommend this one for you! I must warn though, it can get a bit bloody and gory it a few scenes, hence the "horror" reference above..Score: 5/5

Don't be fooled by the trailerSeeing good reviews I watched the trailer and was highly skeptical, frankly. Turns out the trailer is awful. The movie is good and very entertaining. I'd be shocked if there isn't a Hollywood version in the next few years..Score: 5/5
