Even the brilliance of Anthony Hopkins couldn’t save it.
Amsterdam 1982, the recession has hit hard. A group of friends and builders are down on their luck and are refused a bank loan. It’s spokesman Cor van Hout proposes an outrageous plan, to kidnap local millionaire, the successful Freddy Heineken. The group test the waters by carrying out a bank heist, then carry out the daring dead, taking Heineken and his driver, holding them hostage, issuing a huge ransom demand. Cracks appear in their unit, and their family lives suffer too.

Most of the positives surround Hopkins, he gives a masterclass in acting, his performance is understated and yet believable. Some of the best scenes in the movie revolve around his demands for Chinese food, books, Schubert etc, it’s very random but enjoyable.

One entertaining moment when the team realise they’ve left the ransom note in a photocopier nearby.

Sadly the film didn’t keep my attention, it’s the kind of film you’ll need a crossword or Sudoku puzzle. Unfortunately it is quite boring, the plot was a good one, I think possibly had some humour been added to it that may have helped, as a thriller it just doesn’t work, there’s no tension or drama caused, you never feel at any point that the gang truly mean business.

As for the accents, some of them wanted to go Dutch, some of them didn’t, it felt inconsistent.

It could have been so good. I’ve only seen a trailer for the Dutch production, but that seems to have the atmosphere that was needed, this production is sadly a week old unwanted glass of Heineken, FLAT.

5/10

I wondered why a movie with this cast didn’t have a wider release, after watching it I can see why.
“You know what your doing is completely stupid, unless you pull it off. In which case it could be completely brilliant.” When a group of friends are denied a loan they are desperate for money. They come up with a plan to kidnap the founder of the Heineken beer company (Hopkins) and ask for a large ransom in exchange. What starts off as a great idea, little by little begins to unravel. This movie is based on a true story and this is something I knew nothing about. The movie itself started off good and I was interested but the longer it went on the less interested I seemed to get. I’m not sure why, the acting was good and the interactions between the kidnappers was entertaining but this was another movie that I had a hard time staying focused on. It really seemed to stumble toward the end and this was another movie that I was thankful that it wasn’t longer. Overall, I wondered why a movie with this cast didn’t have a wider release, after watching it I can see why. I disappointingly give this a C.
