The flaws don't hide the truth, but let's talk about the flaws and a few details that others haven't mentioned.

First of all, I can't accept the reason why Coles chases and kills the male protagonist. Business reasons? Even if it's not a sensitive political factor, it's a personal grudge or a gang interest group. It's so positive, it's like a Chinese movie.

The protagonist's halo is too obvious. Even if you fall off a cliff with handcuffs, you should have a sprain. The giant sacs on both sides can cushion it, but the posture and position of the car are both head-down and heavy. How can the vertical impact be resolved? ?

The first time the male protagonist saw Collas, he said, "What is the wind blowing you?" I felt that the two should know each other, or I was too ignorant of European culture, that's how people talk.

There's no need to kill the owner of the log house, why would you take most of your life in trouble, if it's really to sneak into the company to get an offer. I always feel that this basic motive makes no sense. . . .


After complaining, he talked about a few details that few people paid attention to:

the scene of throwing things, I don’t know where the tracker is, so I can only throw it all at once, and there is a slight hesitation when throwing it on the watch. People who care a lot about money, even if it is alluding to the seriousness of the situation at this time, let's not worry about the small money at the critical moment. Throwing the ring in the back makes more sense.

In the final battle scene, the protagonist entered the room through the window, so the alarm in Uwe's room was not triggered, but when Coles came in through the door, it was triggered. (Ignore why the alarm didn't sound and it sounded the first time the male protagonist came), and then turned the window and came out just to avoid CCTV.

Observing in the hole twice, once watching the children in the apartment, the hole in the newspaper on the window is heart-shaped, and the second time on the toilet door, the hole is also heart-shaped, implying the key dark line of true love with my wife.

In the end, the sheriff and the female reporter threw a wink, saying that the two had slept, that is, the media would cooperate to wipe the matter away. A good-eyed detective has been hacked like this. Although there are not many scenes and it is not important, it is a bit too hasty~~



Overall, it is still a very wonderful script. There are many clues, both bright and dark, and the best part is that they are intertwined and affect each other.



PS, I didn’t miss the two suspended animations. The male protagonist’s survival talent must be full, but the second time he stared at his suspended animation was really special. I always thought that the next second, Coles would suddenly “Ah!” to scare him and then Subconsciously dodge it and directly wear it. Inexplicably funny.

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.
