Critics consensus

“Dull and devoid of characterization, Kidnapping Mr. Heineken is a true crime thriller that rings false.”

It's a half-hearted crime picture which is ultimately about as successful as the clueless criminals that inspired it.

A remake of a Dutch movie that itself wasn't much of a success.

Kidnapping Freddy Heineken is notable only for an appearance by Sir Anthony Hopkins as the titular brewer-turned-prisoner.

[...] as a result, viewers end up with a “thriller” that cannot thrill, despite the actual account of events being the perfect foundation for a potential banger.
