      you thought you were outside the cage

      When you talk about headhunting, I will think of prey. You think others have decorated your windows. Gu Cheng said, you have decorated other people's dreams. You pretend not to decorate other people's dreams. In fact, it's not because of your scenery. The scenery is emerging, Gu Cheng is in Consolation, the only scenery you can create is not decoration, it's just decoration.

      Forget it after reading it - there are too many loopholes to take a closer look

      I watched it with a pair of headphones. I don’t know if it was affected by this, but it looked dull anyway. This is a thriller and suspense film, but it feels like it has not achieved the effect that such a film should have.
              The soundtrack, like nothing.
              Suspense films mainly depend on whether there is logic. This film feels that the clues are very messy, and some of the reasons for the development of the story are not clear. For example, why did the male No. 2...

      Pig logic!

      Seeing that everyone highly praised this film, I couldn't help it, I registered an account to complain, such a film with so many bugs that I can't justify it at all. As for the score being hit so high?
          Since ancient times, in Van Gogh IQ movies, at least the origin of the plot is not amazing, but at least it is reasonable, right?
          So, is the origin of this film's male protagonist being hunted down reasonable? A sophisticated person who can enter a rival company as a commercial...

      A few doubtful personal opinions

      Purely personal opinion

      on the female lead's mobile phone: I don't think male 2 steals female 1's phone in the gallery and then lays it out at home for male 1 to find out, because it is not good for him, male 2 wanted to join male 1's company from the beginning . Man 2 lied to Woman 1 by saying that he had a real painting in order to meet Woman 2 and thus hook up with Man 1, because he wanted to join Man 1's company. He wouldn't know that Male 1 would go to his house to steal his...

      [2011][Suspense][Crime][Foreign Language]

      In many places, the screenwriter doesn't actually need to explain the specific design ideas behind, which makes it more mysterious,
      otherwise it's a bit long-winded.
      The front was stabbed to death by a poison needle and the back was a little too much to explain when he was calculating the villain in the cabin
      .
      It's really a bit hard to say
      that when a dog bites me, it really hurts
      . People who climb out of the shithole are really people who can make big things....

      Although there are some bugs, it does not prevent it from watching. The former part of the male protagonist was treated too badly, and the latter part began to fight back. I have to say that the screenwriter is too powerful, and the plot does not go as...

    Movie plot

    As a very charming and rogue rogue, Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) has everything that everyone can dream of. First of all, he was the most successful headhunter in Norway, and he married the very beautiful gallery owner Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund) as his wife, and lived with his wife in a magnificent villa. However, behind such a luxurious life requires a lot of money to maintain, which is obviously beyond the range that Roger can bear,...

    Evaluation action

    Although "Headhunters" is a thriller and suspense film, it has a lot of bad taste, and the ending of the film makes the audience feel the ingenious design of the script   . This film is not only outstanding in its bridge segment, but also has a high level of production   . Director Morten Tyldum's adaptation achieves a balance between various elements, so that the climax of the whole film is repeated without losing the black humor   ....(

    Movie quotes

    • [Last lines]

      Roger: My name is Roger Brown. I'm 5'6" tall, and you know what? That's more than enough.

    • [First lines]

      Roger: Rule #1: Make sure you know everything about those you visit. 2: Never spend more than 10 minutes. Every extra minute increases the chance of someone returning home unexpectedly. 3: Do not leave DNA traces. 4: Don't waste time getting an expensive reproduction. Even a simple forgery will go unnoticed for weeks. 5: Sooner or later, one of two things will happen. You find a work of art so valuable that you never need to worry again, or... you'll get caught.
