"Headhunter": Surprise and goodwill coexist

Without any expectations before watching the movie, it really is a good way to get unexpected joy. Before watching the Norwegian film "Hodejegerne", I knew it was adapted from the best-selling. The book, which is the Norwegian box office champion, will be reproduced in English by Summit Entertainment, and other information will stop at the director being valued by Hollywood. A film called "What Happened to Monday" is about to be made, but it is firmly held by it when watching it. As the story of the film progresses, the goodwill gradually increases. It seems that the director Morten Taedum does have two brushes.
The plot is compact and the logic is relatively rigorous. None of the cutscene and dialogue before the incident are superfluous, which paved the way for the subsequent development of the plot, making the climax reasonable and enjoyable. At the same time, Xu is caused by the unique scenery of Northern Europe that runs through the film-Norway’s lakes and mountains. The film is different from the thriller and suspense film in the general sense. There is no suspicion of deliberately creating panic, but it brings the audience a kind of always-existent feeling of heartstrings. In addition, the rhythm of the film is very well grasped, and the smoothness of the shots reveals a sense of coldness and loneliness, which complements the slight suspenseful tension that lingers in it.
When a headhunter with boundless scenery becomes a desperate prey, the gap in the middle contains many secrets and setbacks. Roger, the most successful headhunter, clearly knows the taste after encountering trouble, desperation, doubt and counterattack. When the difference in appearance between a couple is comparable to Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian, and the husband is not useless, then he has to do something, but this time, Roger’s opponent is extraordinary, like an "upgraded version of Ximen Qing." ", tall, handsome, and more golden single, served as a soldier, experienced the harshest life in prison, cold-blooded and combative, and had a good mind to invent a tracking alarm device. Fortunately, Roger "Wu Dalang" was also unambiguous. In his sideline, "Art Thief", a very rich career, he has developed a skill, and more importantly, he understands human nature. A good game has to match the opponent, and the opponent has to be equal.
The role of Roger is one of the backbones of the Norwegian film industry, Akassel Henne, a character actor who has won many awards in Norway. He was selected as one of the ten "Shine" by the European Film Promotion Committee seven years ago. One of the "Bright Stars", this choice was a reliable choice, showing the insight of the committee. And this time, in order to shape Roger, Henney has suffered a lot. These pains also seem to help him to interpret the evolution of the "slippery" Roger, who previously valued interests, with a sense of hierarchy. When the police car was overturned, The wounded Roger waited to remove his hair with his mobile hands. This "shaving" process was a test of the actor's inner drama. Henney took the pain and excitement in Roger's heart at this moment to the bottom, and the doubts and investigations in his mind were also there. It seemed cruel for a moment. The bloody razor seemed to depict the steps of the counterattack one by one, suggesting that Roger, who had been desperate before, began to work on uncovering the truth. In the end, it is the woman who decides the outcome of the two men. The existence of true love makes money and appearance become clouds.
Compared with the outstanding performance of Akassel Henne, Nicola Coster-Waldau, who has appeared in "Black Thorns", "The Axeman", "Black Hawk Down" and other films, seems a bit faint. Surface, perhaps sometimes, the advantages of appearance will become disadvantages.

    The front is a little dull, the back is very exciting, the male protagonist pleases me

    The plot of the story is compact, and the escape process of the male protagonist's various shit luck looks very exciting. Looking forward to the Hollywood remake.

Jo Nesbø's Headhunters 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.
