My tastes in film run foreign... mainly thrillers, clever comedy. Many of the most wonderful films I've seen require yearly viewing... a longer endeavor, but the Sopranos series is one such collection that is a must watch once/yr... all these years later... a testament to grand writing, acting & casting.
One such prize is 2012's "Headhunters (Hodejegerne)", an immensely clever, Norwegian crime drama/thriller with gasping action that's so unusual, it will keep you simultaneously breathtaken, on the edge of your seat & humored at the dark comedic elements peppered throughout the film. `
If you watch the trailer, it's dismal. I don't understand how such a grand film can be represented with such boringly displayed & narrated snippets... but, they managed to do such an injustice. It's one of the flaws I see with many foreign trailers.
Plot is the most different you'll see, the acting is great, there are twists you won't expect & all I can say, without revealing spoilers, is that... it's a film about a corporate exec (a headhunter for the elite), who has a double life as an art thief.
If you're not bothered by subtitles, you might enjoy it.

I remember watching this movie ages ago. It’s a good one. Did you see “The guilty” from last year?

Same... I saw Headhunter a decade ago, but have watched it yearly since.
No, I have not seen "The Guilty", but just watched the trailer & it looks wonderful. Added it to my list so I'll watch it within the week, thank you so much.
I'm open to other suggestions, as well. Thank you kindly for this... it's nice to find someone with similar movie interests, as many don't care for foreign or obscure films. Thank you...

Oh if I knew you were planning to watch it, I would have suggested an even better film. I use to watch a lot of foreign films( Korean thrillers, specially) but then i got busy with work and studies. I am just starting to get back at it. Saw Parasite a week ago and loved it!

Hope to see it later this week.
Hobbs and Shaw - about what you'd expect from the 937th F&F movie.
i don't know, it felt lacking somehow. which maybe was it's goal.
I've had that in my watchlist forever. I want to read the book first though.
It was ok. Longer than it needed to be and it was slow moving. Great acting though. Made me absolutely hate Ford.
Part of my Reddit reviews I did couple weeks back
