SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Headhunters, it turns professional competence into a pressure cooker: a morally compromised protagonist improvises under escalating danger, with sharp reversals and tightly controlled suspense.
02
Why this pick
This shares Headhunters’ propulsive European-thriller energy, placing an ordinary man inside a fast-moving web of pursuit, mistrust, and revelations.
03
Why this pick
A lean, breathless crime thriller driven by a compromised man trying to stay ahead of ruthless opponents—close to Headhunters’ escalating, darkly playful survival mode.
04
Why this pick
For the Scandinavian tension and ethical pressure of Headhunters, this offers an equally unsparing cat-and-mouse negotiation, grounded in believable professional desperation rather than spectacle.
05
Why this pick
Its polished, high-stakes puzzle structure and shifting power dynamics echo Headhunters’ pleasure in watching an apparently capable man scramble to control an increasingly dangerous situation.

01 / THE STORY
Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie), Norway's most successful Recruiter, supports his lavish lifestyle by stealing paintings from his clients; his partner, Ove (:no:Eivind Sander), works at a surveillance company and deactivates security at the victims' homes, allowing Roger to swap the art for a counterfeit. Asked to dinner by his mistress, Lotte (Julie Ølgaard), Roger declines and ends their relationship. Roger's wife and art gallery owner, Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund), introduces him to Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), a former executive for global positioning system company HOTE, who wants to work for Pathfinder, whom Roger is recruiting for. Diana reveals that Clas has asked her to authenticate a lost Peter Paul Rubens painting he inherited that is believed to be worth millions.
