Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie)is a charming scoundrel and Norway's most accomplished headhunter. He lives a life of luxury well beyond his means and chooses to subsidize his expensive lifestyle through stealing highly prized art. When his beautiful wife, an art gallery owner, introduces him to a former mercenary in possession of an extremely valuable painting, he decides to risk it all in order to obtain it, and in doing so, he discovers something that makes him a hunted man himself. Based on the novel by Jo Nesbø.
A Guy Ritchie rip off. The beautiful Scandinavian people, interiors, landscape, and architecture are the only positives about this film. It is more of a comedy than a crime-thriller, even with the suspenseful soundtrack. The dialogue is dry.
