I don't know why I didn't like this film. It felt as if something was missing, but I cannot pinpoint the reason for my dislike. Perhaps the movie was too formulaic, too neat. I suggest you watch Sweden's A Man Called Ove (2015) instead.

Headhunters will remain with you after the final scene cuz you'll find yourself thinking about the myriad plot twists and turns you didn't see coming, or possibly you did but not on the level they did in this Norwegian tour de force psychological thriller. Two thumbs way up.

Entertaining and a decent twist on what could have been a predictable by the numbers thriller. Sit back, enjoy, and don't examine it too deeply or the plot holes become apparent.
