Kidnapping Mr. Heineken plot
"It was the perfect crime until they got away with it."
In 1983, four friends decide to commit the greatest crime of the century. Cor van Hout (Jim Sturgess), the enigmatic leader and strategist of the gang of four, leads a daring plan to kidnap Freddy Heineken (Anthony Hopkins), heir and the driving force behind the Heineken empire. This results in the largest ransom money ever paid for the kidnapping of a single person. Most of the money has never been recovered to this day.

When a movie is set in the eighties, I always pay close attention to whether everything is right or not. The 50 guilder bill. In my memory it only came later, so I looked it up and the note was introduced a year earlier in 1982. It already existed then. I don't think the expression "thinking outside the box" was used then. The red-black logo of KAV-autoverhuur is, I think, something of the last time (so surreptitious advertising), a childbirth course where fathers also went 
and cycling with a crate in front... 
The film never gets exciting, while the book by Peter R. de Vries (when he was only involved with crime and old murder cases) is a very exciting page turner.
Anthony Hopkins can at least add another big name to his resume, next to Hitler, Nixon and Picasso.

In this film the viewer is immediately sucked into the story and there is almost no character formation of any kind. The story then immediately becomes boring and not interesting to propose anything at all. The fact that the actors spoke English was also a real damper on the whole. That Hollywood has wanted to invest time and energy in this way with these actors is a complete mystery. Can hardly think of anything positive about the film, soon forgotten.
