Roger Brown, corporate headhunter, leads an over-extended life. With his gorgeous wife, luxury home, and brisk spending habits he has to finance the extras with a little high-level art theft. His job as an executive headhunter allows him to delve into his clients wealth and art allowing him to pick his next victim. All is well until a former Dutch exec appears with tales of a forbidden Rembrandt stolen by Nazi officers.

This Norwegian crime thriller is shot through-and-through with sly humor and breakneck action. Definitely 3.5 outta 5.

I started watching it alone, and after first maybe 30 minutes thought - "This is pretty stylish, maybe I should invite the lady to watch with me!"

Good thing I didn't, because it was all downhill from there, and the outhouse VERY PREDICTABLE scene would most likely mean no dinners for the rest of the year.

Overall I think it is garbage, and you were way too generous with your 3.5.

Or maybe you are on a diet? :)

One small bright spot was the Russian whore and her line that didn't get no respect and no subtitle.

  We have a little dispute again on Outside about inputting current to common line voltage requirements in the USA. That, I believe, is not a simple task when trying to shove 110/220V into a highline system.

    I looked briefly at the thread, technically it is possible, the question is whether someone can do it reliably and economically - apparently not yet.

  Spielberg created that image in "List" but the Wegians took it one big step further. The idea is "how much do you want to live".
  
  Suspension of disbelief: Sedan being shot over the rail and landing in the bottom of a ravine. No self-respecting human body would ever live through that.
  - That idea has existed as long as the outhouses - Victor Khomenko 12:14:24 10/18/12 (0)
    I remember when I read it for the first time in my life, I must had been 10 or so at the time - it kinda impressed me back then... it was about a "bad" guy hiding from the advancing "good" Reds.
    
    For some strange reason the images of fecal matter seem to be popular in Northern European cinema. Must be the cold climate.
- "One small bright spot was the Russian whore..." I'm trying to imagine that. nt - tinear 08:42:51 10/18/12 (2)

    Hence more anatomically correct, so to speak.
