Rating: 2/5 --
How could such a gripping true story make such a dull film? And what was Anthony Hopkins thinking when he agreed to star?

Time and again, good material is introduced and discarded.

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 in the basic requirements of a heist movie: there's no planning, no camaraderie, no competency and worst of all, no thrills.

It's obviously possible to make compelling movies about true crime committed by unsympathetic people, but this sure isn't one of them.

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

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.
