| Thriller nórdico |
HEADHUNTERS (Noruega, 2011) – O complexo de Napoleão que acomete o personagem principal
logo nas primeiras cenas dá o tom deste excelente thriller de suspense norueguês.
Kleber tinha razão. O filme é ótimo, apesar de alguns furos num roteiro, que é
bem diferente dos clichês hollywoodianos. É um bom exemplo do cinema nórdico,
combinando uma direção segura, boas atuações e um realismo repleto de violência
gráfica. Os twists não
são tão surpreendentes, porém são realizados com estilo e classe. Kleber was
right. It is a terrific
example of skilled Nordic filmcraft at its best, which combines good directing,
credible acting, dark realism and intelligent story, which all together make it
overall a very enjoyable package. There were some script quirks and the pace of
the film at times was breathtaking, but nothing major to gripe about. Even though the cast is small, they
are well used and the story rattles along at a pace that keeps the viewer
involved at every turn. There are some satisfying developments that don't really
qualify as twists, and there is nothing radical here, but it is done with style
and panache.
