The inside story of the planning, execution, rousing aftermath, and ultimate downfall of the kidnappers of beer tycoon Alfred "Freddy" Heineken in 1983, which resulted in the largest ransom ever paid for an individual.
Leave your thoughts about Kidnapping Mr. Heineken.
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford[Anthony Hopkins] uses his usual ticks and mannerisms but gives the only fully dimensioned performance in the film. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe true story of Freddy Heineken’s kidnapping is fascinating, but Kidnapping Mr. Heineken is a disappointingly superficial film in which neither the kidnappers nor their captives are particularly interesting. |
| amNewYorkRobert LevinThe movie suffers when Anthony Hopkins isn't on screen but the plot advances with precision and the filmmaker pays a great deal of attention to authenticity. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedAnthony Hopkins plays the king of the hops, and he is excellent. So is the rest of the movie, a sober, no-frills account about the highest ransom ever collected up to that time — $10 million and counting. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfAlthough based on a true story, everything about "Kidnapping Mr. Heineken" feels fictional, cobbled together from similar pictures. There's little flair and no life to the feature. |
| AV ClubKeith UhlichMuch like the lager that gives the film its name, Kidnapping Mr. Heineken is bland on the palette and best pissed away. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelStrong class consciousness, a thriller [and] character study of men quixotically driven to a desperate act [with] chases through picturesque Amsterdam and intense...ensemble. |
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyCrime journalist Peter DeVries ...refused to option his book to anyone unless he could be assured that what happened would be presented on film as accurately as possible...so what you see is apparently pretty close to the truth with relatively good pace. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyIn just a few scenes, Hopkins conjures up some sorely needed fizz. But the low-key vibe of the film doesn't match the high-stakes audacity of the crime. |
| Urban CinefileLouise KellerThe disappointment is that this film adaptation of Peter R. de Vries' book recounting the events from the planning stages, the depiction of the kidnapping itself and what happens afterwards lacks tension and is rather dull |
