Synopsis

Roger (Arcel Henne) is a successful executive search manager. He is only 168cm tall but has a wife with a supermodel figure.

To tie her heart, Roger bought mansions and often gave her expensive gifts.

But how could Roger's wages afford such high consumption?

It turns out that Roger has an identity behind his back: an art thief.

He would use the advantages of his profession to snoop on news, and then steal art with his accomplice Ovina.

Because of the careful planning, the two were never found.

On this day, Roger met a man from Corus at his wife's art exhibition.

I heard that his ancestors handed down a painting worth hundreds of millions.

Roger knew that if this order was successful, he would be able to wash his hands of the golden plate in the future.

So, he pretended to chat with Coles and found out that he was going to go away recently.

Roger immediately contacted Ovina, ready to act immediately.

After sneaking into Coles' house, things went smoothly at first, and the famous paintings seemed to be in the bag.

Surprisingly, Roger found his wife's mobile phone at the Colles house.

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, a green light flashed on his head, and he instantly felt that everything was clear and boring.

But Roger calmed down, and with a little hope he went back to inquire about the whereabouts of his wife's phone.

The answer is that after falling in the gallery, Roger understands that his wife must be cheating.

Roger was so jealous that he vowed to make Coles pay the price, but the top priority was to sell the painting first.

But when he wanted to drive to find Ovina, he found that he had died in the garage...


Video Analysis

A film from Norway. The first half of the film is fast-paced and the narrative is smooth. The second half is full of climaxes and exciting. I believe that friends who have watched it will find it hard to forget. For example, the contrast between the male and female protagonists is set. The shithole scene, as well as the plot twist and high-energy ending, are well worth watching.

Among them, the male protagonist sneaking into the cesspool to hide may be the most impressive scene. I can even smell the strong stench through the screen, but of course, the crew did not use real feces when shooting this set of scenes. It's a mix of coffee, chocolate chip cookies, and oil, and it's in the form of feces.

The story in the film is also a highly topical content. Although it is a crime suspense in form, its essence is love. Although the male protagonist has a very decent job, he still has a huge gap with Gao Fushuai, and his wife can be said to be the type most men dream of. The director creates suspense through the contrast of the characters, and they can finally be together. ?

At first I held a negative attitude, because the male protagonist continued to satisfy the woman's material desires, but he was very lacking in spirituality. Obviously, compared to wealth, the female protagonist is more eager to have children, which are the most precious crystallization of the two of them. , and therefore both betrayed each other, and the derailed object obviously looks more suitable for them, so it seems that the ending will be a tragedy.

But the plot after that turned around unexpectedly, and we found that under the deliberate actions of the screenwriter, we were all fooled. The small male protagonist burst out with super energy and escaped from the dead in the ninth death. What surprised us even more was the female protagonist. Her choice became the key to the plot reversal.

The film is really exciting and entertaining enough to entertain, but the story isn't enough for us to empathize with. The lack of motivation for the characters' behavior, the immortal law of the protagonist's halo, and the ironic ending all make the film more entertaining, so I'd say it's a good and memorable movie, but I think it Not worth watching again.



Money and material things are very important, but for relationships, it may only be a thermometer, and cannot be used to fill the void.

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.
