"Headhunters" is an absurd amount of grisly fun, which is a good thing, since, looked at in any great detail, it probably doesn't hold up all that well.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

"Headhunters" isn't a pretty film, and it doesn't always entirely make sense, but it races along like a man chased by killers.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

'Headhunters" is a frighteningly well-made thriller about an amoral art thief on the run.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Like a Teutonic techno band, this thriller is both skillfully familiar and chillingly strange.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
