HODEJEGERNE [2011]

aka Headhunters

God dammit, is director Morten Tyldum's crime-thriller, Hodejegerne, ever a wickedly twisted and entertaining ride.
It follows a highly successful art thief that steals from the wrong person, sending him into a tornado of problems that threaten to destroy his life.  It's a wonderfully executed hodge-podge of scares, laughs, thrills and twists 'n turns all of which wrap up quite nicely together without ever missing a beat.  It never forgets underneath all of it's layers and layers of plot developments (and buckets of blood) that's it still very much a tale of human behaviour, insecurities and cherishing the beauty of what's right in front of you.
