Reception

Kidnapping Mr. Heineken received generally unfavourable reviews from critics.

The film has a 33/ score at Metacritic[3] and a 19% score at Rotten Tomatoes.[4]

The Los Angeles Times commented, "Despite its true-events pedigree, Kidnapping Mr. Heineken is woefully captive to B-movie crime saga tropes."[5]

Variety wrote, "About as appealing as day-old beer littered with cigarette butts, the abysmal caper drama Kidnapping Mr.

Heineken is one of those international co-productions produced for all the right tax-credit reasons and none of the right artistic ones."[6]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "By the time the relatively brief but seemingly interminable proceedings reach their conclusion, viewers may feel like they've been held hostage themselves."[7] Conversely, Rex Reed of The New York Observer gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, and commented, "Anthony Hopkins plays the king of the hops, and he is excellent.

So is the rest of the movie, a sober, no-frills account about the highest ransom ever collected up to that time—$10 million and counting."[8]
