Re: Headhunters
I went to the horrid crappy dirty Holloway road, sat in the back row with MariaLonza. A very good view on those seats, as they are on a step, which I fell off
So I've read 5 or 6 of Jo Nesbo's books but this one I've not read yet, and its also a stand alone book, not part of the series. I had no idea what to expect from this espeically as I soon realised it was nothing like the books I read. It was very entertaining and kept you guessing all the way through, with loads of twists and turns and some turn your head away scenes
I really enjoyed seeing Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones on the big screen (can't remember his real name)
My fav bit was [spoiler]that flipping tractor with the dog hanging off it![/spoiler] 8/10

Re: Headhunters
Should have gone there instead of the shiny superscreen at the 02. So super they can't get the subtitles to work. I left after half an hour as I was too tired to wait for it to be fixed!valda wrote:I went to the horrid crappy dirty Holloway road, sat in the back row with MariaLonza.

It's going to ruin it.

Re: Headhunters
That's happened at cineworld a couple of times and it's the print they been sent, or these days the copy they've downloaded, and can't be fixed. I hope they offered you an alternate film, our cineworld is always on the ball offering that.cinefila1 wrote:Should have gone there instead of the shiny superscreen at the 02.

Re: Headhunters
Really enjoyed this film. Forgot I was reading after a few minutes. Lots of twists and turns kept me interested throughout.
That's 2 good films in a row now.
Only down side is the news that there will probably be an american re-make. Why can't they leave it alone??? All the subtlety will be ripped out and the twists will be as obvious as an american wrestling move.
9/10 for the original

Re: Headhunters
Brilliant film, really enjoyed it. Please no American re-make and leave Trollhunters alone! 
Re: Headhunters
Not bad but honestly, plausibility was stretched to the absolute breaking point. None the less, quite entertaining and I was happy to finally understand why there were a pair of twin "Politi" guards at the Saatchi screening, of which one seemed to be eating a bag of peanuts.
I can definitely see Josh Holloway (aka Sawyer from LOST) playing the villain in the Hollywood remake.
