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 deliberately set up a trap to kill the male No. 1?
There are too many places where the coincidence setting in the film is unreasonable. Why did the accomplice of male No. 1 run into his car to get the painting? Male No. 1 accidentally discovered that his parallel head was the enemy? Why wasn't the camera found? The male No. 1 ability Tongtian took the evidence so easily and smoothly? Falling off the cliff and breaking the skin, what's the matter? Being bitten by a dog, falling off a cliff, being stabbed by a knife, holding a knife with his bare hands, the protagonist is still in such good condition, it is really amazing.
One or two coincidences are acceptable, but if there are too many unreasonable ones, the quality of the film will be greatly reduced. The counter-attack of the protagonist in the ending is indeed quite clever, killing three birds with one stone, destroying the evidence, solving the enemy and forging the scene of the murder, but in order to create this ending, there are loopholes in the previous foreshadowing. Can't see something as big as a camera? The process of stealing evidence is unbelievable! Her wife can actually change the empty bag and it is really successful. Although there is no scene in the show, can you believe it?

Digression: It is said that the male protagonist looks better with a shaved head than with long hair. From a villain face to a decent face, a downcast person is easy to be pitied.

    The story, tone, and soundtrack all have that Nordic somberness. The first half has been in the tense suspense of tracking and anti-tracking, which is very exciting; the puzzle solving part of the second half is a bit weak, and the screenwriter is a little too clever.

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.
