Critic Reviews of "Kidnapping Mr. Heineken"
Time OutMarch 30, 2015One capably staged chase sequence apart, it's not one to set the pulse racing.
Globe and MailMarch 06, 2015Not 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.
Chicago Sun-TimesMarch 05, 2015The 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.
New York TimesMarch 05, 2015The sole object lesson in the true-crime drama "Kidnapping Mr. Heineken" is that not every crime deserves its own movie.
Los Angeles TimesMarch 05, 2015Despite its true-events pedigree, "Kidnapping Mr. Heineken" is woefully captive to B-movie crime saga tropes.
VarietyMarch 05, 2015Anthony Hopkins and a cast of erstwhile next-big-things go slumming in Daniel Alfredson's listless, fact-based kidnapping caper.
Cairo360June 02, 2016It's far from perfect, but Kidnapping Mr. Heineken still proves to be a generally likable and engaging small-time thriller, regardless of its imperfections.
The Straits Times (Singapore)May 24, 2016Hopkins 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.
Independent Online (South Africa)April 27, 2016The stakes might be high, but never once do they produce even a frisson of delight, horror or tension.
Rip It UpDecember 21, 2015While the ransom paid was the largest ever, the stakes never seem as high as they should be.
Cinemalogue.comMay 01, 2015It fails to accentuate the peculiarities of its from-the-headlines tale and instead turns itself into a rather generic and predictable kidnapping thriller.
