Kidnapping Mr. Heineken

The most remarkable aspect of this movie is the decision to take the 'Suicide King' approach, and make the capturers more sympathetic than Heineken, This is particularly amazing seeing as two of them moved on to become top crime lords of the Netherlands (something I personally always wanted to try).

Ünlü bira markası patronu Freddy Heineken'in kaçırma olayı. 5 dibe batmış arkadaş, borçlarını kapatmak için bira milyarderi Heineken'i kaçırırlar. 4 ay boyunca bir odada tutulan Heineken, parayı teslim edince kurtulur. Film o kadar kirli ki, sonunu az çok tahmin ediyoruz. Oyuncular da sıkıntı var. Özellikle Jim Sturgess. Filmin sonunda, arkadaş kurbanı oluyorlar. Ayrılık geldi başa katlanmak gerek. Seni çok çok özledim. Arkadaşım eşşek.

This was pretty average (at best). It had a decent cast but the story seemed poorly constructed and explained. None of the motives in the film seemed to make sense and made it all the more harder to sympathise with the characters. Very disappointing to be honest and I was bored for some parts. Even Anthony Hopkins seemed to phone it in.

The spectacular real life 1983 kidnapping of beer king Freddy Heineken in a not as spectacular 2015 movie creation. However since the crime happened in the 1980s there is a cool 80s-ness about this film, sort of bringing that to the directed as well. Plus the chemistry between the kidnappers is what makes the the story so watchable. Their friendship and what happens between them as they commit the heist is the real story here, with Anthony Hopkins making inserted cameos as the kidnapped man.

Not the worst caper film I've ever seen but dreadfully slow. And was was the deal with all the American cars? Was that normal at that time?

Sort of mandatory viewing for any Dutch person who is familiar with the case. But it is extremely boring, it just goes through the paces of what happened. There's no real suspense, no drama, nothing. And somehow it's weird to hear everyone talking English, and not Dutch.

This film bored me to tears somehow. Why the hell was Jim Sturgess gasping for air throughout the film?
