Headhunters (2011) aka Hodejegerne

a Themovieplace short review and recommendation to the Steemit Community

Today I selected the movie Headhunters (2011) for the daily movie recommendation which is directed by Morten Tyldum being the first movie seen from him and the movie that made him famous reaching to make movies like The Imitation Game (2014), Passengers (2016) and I consider him a good director and I wait to see with what will amaze in the future.
Being a foreign film I did not have very big expectations and I saw very few Norwegian movies so far.
The reasons I wanted to see this movie are that I saw that he has a very good rating on imdb and plays the actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from Game of Thrones which I think is a very good actor which I've seen in his latest film Shot Caller (2017) in which he played excellently and Headhunters (2011) is the movie where I first noticed it that he is a good actor other than Game of Thrones.
Let's get started and see why I liked this movie and I'll explain a few things about it.

Review(Possible spoilers)

The movie begins with Roger Brown which is a successful headhunter from Norway who work for Pathfinder company who manages to live an expensive life and manages to spoil Diana who is his wife, and to have money for everything Roger steals expensive paintings from his clients replacing original paintings with forgeries helped by Ove who works at a surveillance company and deactivates security at the victims homes.

Diana opens an art gallery where Clas Greve is presented by Diana to Roger, this being a former executive for GPS tech company HOTE an important company that was bought by Amtech an American company.
Roger says that he works at Pathfinder and Clas knows this company and say about it that it is a small competitive company nd that they are their competitors.

Roger find out from Diana that Clas has a Rubens painting by receiving her grandmother's legacy who received it from a German officer during the war with whom she had a relationship.
The painting is worth a lot and Roger meets with Ove to work out details on stealing the painting and meets Clas also discussing about a possible job at Pathfinder and Roger discover a few things about Clas that after the army was in a special unit that specialized in tracking people and the technology was offered by HOTE.

Roger manages to steal the painting and in the morning when he wanted to leave the home finds Ove in his car looking like he was poisoned and takes him to the lake where he will dumps Ove in the lake and his condition returns to normal.
That's all what am I going to tell you about the story and the rest you can find out if you will see the movie and I hope you do that because it's a very exciting movie and it will become even better from this point and some scenes of action will appear which have been very successful.
I really liked the movie, the story was great, the actors were very convincing and they managed to make me interested in seeing the movie all the way without moments of boredom.
I recommend this movie to everyone and I assure you that you will not regret seeing it, also I'm curious about your opinions and don't forget to request the movie genre which you like to be recommended for tomorrow.

My rating 8/10
