120 - Headhunters

    A recruiter, who finances his lifestyle by stealing artwork, runs afoul of a businessman, and becomes hunted by him.
    Surprisingly interesting.  The pacing is off, but there’s a unique feel to the movie, probably because of the foreign settings.  The business lifestyle portrayed reminded me of American Psycho, even as it is completely detached from the 80s.
    What bothered me most about it was how long it took to reach the event that the movie turns on.  Everything for the first 45 minutes is setup, leading to a much more exciting second half.  There’s also something peculiar about the actions of the villain.  He seems more enigmatic than he should.
