HEADHUNTERS (2011) C

Foreign: Subtitles

A movie from Norway that starts out with the fairly conventional premise of a successful businessman with a beautiful wife and some cash flow and image issues; who has driven himself to pursue riskier endeavors. When a new opportunity presents itself, his tightly controlled lives begin to intersect and quickly unravel, as he discovers that things are not what they seem, and that the stakes are much higher than he had imagined. Ending very poorly put together.  Needs re-write. Don't waste your time with this one.

HEADHUNTERS (2012) D/C-

Norwegian; Subtitles 

This BOMB was rated very highly by Rotten Tomatoes. This means that I personally have nowhere to turn for a review prior to seeing a movie. Very bad state of affairs. (82% of the critics liked it and 72% of the audiences liked it). Looks like I'm going to have to create my own site. 

It may be the others liked beautiful Norwegian girls that hang around art galleries . . . or they liked action, nudity, tension, blood, killing, being buried in the slime of an outhouse, dogs attacking people and other so-called "adventure" scenes . . . but they surely don't care at all about a COHERENT PLOT. The story is about a headhunter who also steals art (similar to the stuff on Mission Impossible) and then gets involved with a CEO of a high tech corporation that is about to go bankrupt . . . or something. Included were all the right high tech buzzwords that meant nothing. Could not make heads or tales out of the story. What probably happened in filming was that the producers ran out of money, stopped shooting and edited the stuff that was lying around.
