Kidnapping Mr Heineken (2015) 6/10

Starring : Jim Sturgess, Sam Worthington, Ryan Kwanten, Anthony Hopkins
Director : Daniel Alfredson
Running Time : 95 mins

In order to make some much needed money as their property is inhabited by squatters that the police will do nothing about, a group of friends hatch a plan to kidnap Freddy Heineken (Hopkins), a beer tycoon who they plan to hold to ransom. But as their demands go unanswered for days on ends, the group begin to fret about what they should do if their ransom demands are turned down.

An interesting story about the world’s largest paid ransom is handled in a slightly boring fashion. In spite of some award winning actors, the execution of this movie is more than a little dull and gives us no real action and nowhere near enough tension considering the situation. Historically this is worth watching, but otherwise don’t bother.
