Kidnapping Mr. Heineken's reviews
Media reviews
Cinemanía
The prolonged recession following the oil crisis, the birth of radicalism starting with the capitalist, and a romantic idea of life here lacks the political alibi that did exist in the germ of criminal organizations as the Baader-Meinhof or the Red Brigades, was the breeding ground of such a bizarre event as plausible, thanks to performers like Hopkins, Sturgess or Worthington.
Fotogramas
It never gets bored, but neither dazzles nor snatches.
New York Post
Only Anthony Hopkins, who plays Freddy Heineken (again, with a British accent), partially redeems this pointless exercise.
Chicago Sun-Times
A disappointing and superficial film in which neither kidnappers nor their captives, are particularly interesting
Variety
'Mr. Heineken Kidnapping' is one of those international co-produced with tax credit right reasons, but none of the proper artistic reasons.
Los Angeles Times
'Kidnapping Mr. Heineken' brews up a B-movie crime tale.
