The Psychotronic Film Society of Savannah continues its Summer Series of “Movies Savannah Missed” with a special, one-day-only engagement of this sexy, edgy and very fun Norwegian crime thriller that’s taking audiences by storm all over the world.

Once more, the PFS of SAV brings you one of the year’s hottest and most talked-about foreign films - during their first domestic theatrical release.
Called the most intriguing Norwegian film since the original GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO TRILOGY (this movie was actually made by the same team responsible for that internationally celebrated saga), HEADHUNTERS is a clever, intelligent, humorous and gripping action-crime-thriller that’s DAZZLING audiences worldwide and earning AMAZING reviews from the top film critics.
THE PLOT: an employment “headhunter” risks everything to obtain a rare painting from a former mercenary. Filled with unexpected twists, impressive performances and stunningly choreographed action sequences, this tightly-wound, adult-oriented suspense flick also packs no small amount of edgy humor.
If you’re a fan of heist/caper movies or sexy, violent rollercoaster rides, this is THE movie to see this year. It’s based on the international best-selling novel by cult Norwegian author JO NESBO.
Hollywood is ALREADY remaking it (produced by and starring, ahem, MARK WAHLBERG) – so don’t miss your chance to see the original version now in its extremely limited U.S. Art-House Cinema Release!
IN NORWEGIAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
