Headhunters Reviews
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
"Headhunters" is a bit like an Ikea desk assembled with your nondominant arm -- sleek and attractive, but likely to fall to pieces if you look at it too hard.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
A cat-and-mouse game with the giddy excitement of a heist movie.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's crisp entertainment even as plot absurdities gum up the works - you can almost hear the pages turn as you watch.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"Headhunters" will indeed hand you your head.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Like a Teutonic techno band, this thriller is both skillfully familiar and chillingly strange.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Headhunters" isn't a pretty film, and it doesn't always entirely make sense, but it races along like a man chased by killers.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"Headhunters" is an absurd amount of grisly fun, which is a good thing, since, looked at in any great detail, it probably doesn't hold up all that well.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
When we get the remake in a year or two, I hope it retains the edge and compact energy of director Morten Tyldum's movie.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
"Headhunters" is a well-oiled, nasty machine.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I knew I was being manipulated and didn't care. It was a pleasure to see how well it was being done.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
This Norwegian thriller has a winning cutthroat perversity.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The sex, nudity and violence are nonstop, but that's what makes "Headhunters" exciting entertainment.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
The film holds its twists too close to the chest, and there's little to chew on till the ambitiousness of its plotting is revealed late in the film.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The scenes of graphic violence are drawn out to the point where they overwhelm the story.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Clearly, there are streaks of farce in all this, as well as serious cracks in logic, and those who like their black comedy done to a crisp will happily feast on what Tyldum dishes up.

Leonard Maltin
I can't remember the last time a movie surprised me as much as "Headhunters": not just its story twists and turns, which are considerable, but its continual stripping of character veneer and overall audaciousness left me breathless.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
"Headhunters" is smart, funny, scary and surprising, so it's hardly any wonder that an American version is in the works. The big question is whether the remake can measure up.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Brown's panic is capably rendered, but his ordeals are not worth enduring to the bitter end.
NPR
Bob Mondello
The film has some fairly grisly violence, but also considerable humor and the sort of intricate, thought-through storytelling you'd expect from Hitchcock or the Coen brothers.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Headhunters" is a dark adult entertainment, a wild and bloody adrenaline rush of a movie that deals in gleeful grotesqueness and over-the-top implausibilities.
