Headhunters

This film was INSANE! And as a result, probably the best film I've seen all weekend!

I walked in to a pretty full screening and consequently had to sit right down the front. I knew it was subtitled and as it started I was worried I was gonna be too close to take in the action. After about 10 minutes though this didn't prove to be a problem..

I'm not quite sure how to describe this film.. It certainly had a streak of black humour running though it.  One particular scene has the protagonist crawl out of an outside toilet and then proceed to drive away in a stolen tractor, having impaled a dog on the front forks... Yeah, exactly!? 

The film was peppered with moments like this and also some genuine tense and thrilling parts too.. 

I recognised the main 'bad guy'.  And on further investigation it turns out it was Nickolaj Coster-Waldau from 'Wimbldon', Paul Bethany's sparing partner..

There was some twists I didnt see coming and film tied it all up nicely at the end..

Overall rating: **** 

(mainly down to the sheer madness of it!)
