Headhunter is an excellent thriller.
Unfortunately there are two huge credibility gaps.
First untraceable micro devices that can be tracked from miles away with next to no energy is completely unrealistic. Not to mention that similarity with gps is highlighted which makes it even more unlikely.
Second that someone or an organization would kill so blatantly and with such lack of discretion just to remove one obstacle (it may not be the only one) to put someone on the CEO sit - not to mention that any m&a would need board approval, is absolutely 100% unrealistic.
Finally when Roger comes back to clean the house of his partner in crime, one clearly sees the watch he was supposed to have thrown in the lake.
This is why I only grade the film 6 instead of 7 or 8. Because otherwise it is highly entertaining, well played and riveting. Certainly one of the best thriller of the year. As a bonus the character of the wife is surprising and refreshing.
