daily stream: one for the Nikolaj Coster-Waldau fangirls (like me)
2012’s *Headhunters* is expiring from US Prime soon; streaming on UK Disney+
I suddenly realized that I have not had a Nikolaj Coster-Waldau fix in absolutely ages, and I might have to remedy that with a rewatch of 2012’s Headhunters, the crazy-funny Norwegian satire on male inadequacy disguised as an outrageously violent crime thriller that he costars in. Probably best to know as little about this one going in as possible, but it’s certainly safe to say that all the dick-measuring and overcompensating of the heist genre is elevated out of the subtext here to actively fuel the humor and the suspense. We still haven’t gotten the Hollywood remake of this that was promised a decade ago, but now a Scandi TV adaptation is in the works. So there’s still time to get ahead of the curve…
US: stream in Prime through February 20; rent/buy on Prime and Apple TV
UK: stream on Disney+; rent/buy on Prime and Apple TV
