A Second Chance

Poster for the movie "A Second Chance"

Andreas appears to be living a dream life. He lives in the kind of Scandinavian home on the waterfront that has probably been showcased in various design magazines; his wife Anna is almost as good looking as he is himself; and they have just a little baby boy Alexander to make their idyllic little life complete.

Headhunters

Poster for the movie "Headhunters"

A Norwegian crime thriller based on a Jo Nesbø book about a headhunter with ambitions.

Various interesting productions have come from Scandinavia over the last decade or so, but I don’t think this is one of them… The storyline is fairly silly, the characters shallow, and the missed forensic clues must be everywhere… Nevertheless it is a pretty enjoyable watch, but a thriller it is not. It is almost slapstick.
