Action packed, keeps you on your toes, but the story was too disconnected.
Headhunter is a Norwegian about "an accomplished headhunter who risked everything to obtain a valuable painting owned by a former mercenary." (imdb)
The description/beginning of the Headhunters set up the film to be about a family man needing to keep his luxurious lifestyle by stealing precious paintings. However, after the first quarter of the film, the story seemed to have forgotten about the paintings and continued down a different path. Of course this diverge in story didn't make the film any less exciting, it was just distracting as I tried to make connections between the action packed "man hunt" with the painting robbery. The theft of the paintings, as you'll find out, is done to add flavour to the plot and not very necessary the Headhunters.
This movie is full of chase scenes, action packed gun fights, bloody & gore, love triangles, and some gagging (in a none cheesy but fairly gross) moments.
The main character is fairly similar to those action heroes that can retain a lot of injuries but are die hard.
Entertaining for sure, but not the most coherent storyline out there.
