A successful corporate recruiter makes most of his money as an art thief. His seemingly perfect life falls apart when he steals a valuable painting from the wrong guy. This entertaining Norwegian crime comedy is a breath of fresh air. It's well-acted, funny, surprising, and extremely gory. The twisty story is based on Jo Nesbø's novel.
