In 1983, a group of childhood friends pulled off the crime of the century: kidnapping one of the richest men in the world, the heir of the Heineken beer empire (Anthony Hopkins). The shocking capture - by gunpoint in broad daylight on the streets of Amsterdam - resulted in the largest ransom ever paid for a kidnapped individual. It was truly the perfect crime…until they got away with it.

CRITICS OF "Kidnapping Mr. Heineken"

New Zealand Herald

Time and again, good material is introduced and discarded.

April 27, 2016

Resource

Globe and Mail

Not only is Hopkins's Freddy incomparably more charismatic than any of his captors, he's the only one who, weirdly enough, seems to be enjoying the ordeal. But maybe that's simply a matter of pay scale.

Cairo360

It's far from perfect, but Kidnapping Mr. Heineken still proves to be a generally likable and engaging small-time thriller, regardless of its imperfections.

June 02, 2016

Resource

Variety

Anthony Hopkins and a cast of erstwhile next-big-things go slumming in Daniel Alfredson's listless, fact-based kidnapping caper.

March 05, 2015

Resource

Independent Online (South Africa)

The stakes might be high, but never once do they produce even a frisson of delight, horror or tension.

April 27, 2016

Resource

The Straits Times (Singapore)

Hopkins in captivity is always fascinating. He is not Hannibal Lecter-dangerous here, but as a stubborn captive in chains, he is still a defanged alpha male worth watching. If only we were allowed to see more of him.

It fails to accentuate the peculiarities of its from-the-headlines tale and instead turns itself into a rather generic and predictable kidnapping thriller.

Rip It Up

While the ransom paid was the largest ever, the stakes never seem as high as they should be.

December 21, 2015

Los Angeles Times

Despite its true-events pedigree, "Kidnapping Mr. Heineken" is woefully captive to B-movie crime saga tropes.

March 05, 2015

Resource

Time Out

One capably staged chase sequence apart, it's not one to set the pulse racing.

March 30, 2015

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

The 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.

March 05, 2015

New York Times

The sole object lesson in the true-crime drama "Kidnapping Mr. Heineken" is that not every crime deserves its own movie.
