An incredibly amoral thriller with the blackest of comedy and occasional bouts of extreme violence, in which a corporate headhunter by day is an art thief by night until he steals from an ex-military headhunter and the headhunting turns more literal.
This is one of those strange films where you root for your anti-hero not through any redeeming feature they carry but because their nemesis is so much worse. The characters are charicatures, the set pieces increasingly OTT and I'm not altogether sure the plot adds up. But, as with the similar American Psycho, it was so entertaining I didn't find the implausability at all jarring. Not for the faint of stomach.
