Roger Brown, a top headhunter is stealing art to subsidise his hot wife and expensive lifestyle. When his wife introduces him to a former mercenary in the possession of an extremely valuable painting, he decides to risk it all to get his hands on it, and in doing so discovers something which makes him a hunted man.
A great Norwegian thriller. The story is a bit chaotic and a bit lumped together however its very well acted, particularly Askel Hennie in the lead role. The action scenes are very tense and realistic giving it that graphic European feel that you don’t get in American films. Well worth a watch. Bet the American remake it at some stage.
9/10
