An important movie
by rainyday_19952017-08-14
9/10

"People are not entirely good or entirely bad, this is a model movie that portrays a man doing the right thing in the wrong way. On one hand he is trying to provide for his family and climb up the ranks but on the other hand he does morally wrong things and neglects his family in the process. He is a man we can relate to and in this movie we become invested in him neither hating him nor loving him but sympathizing with him. Something unexpected happens and our investment becomes even heightened, we cry, laugh and cry all over again. You see happiness, sadness and pure life in this movie - well..."

At the screening of "The Headhunter's Calling" at the Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada on September 14, 2016, Gerard Butler (Dane Jensen) stated in a red-carpet interview that he had so much fun in Canada working on this project that he would absolutely love to live in Toronto again. Growing up, Butler used to spend summers as a teenager in Toronto when he worked for his father, who was divorced from his mother back across the pond, at a souvenir shop on Queen's Quay.
