Kidnapping Freddy Heineken (aka Kidnapping Mr Heineken) tells the inside story of the planning, execution, rousing aftermath and ultimate downfall of the kidnappers of beer tycoon Alfred “Freddy” Heineken (Anthony Hopkins), which resulted in the largest ransom ever paid for an individual.
The film also stars Sam Worthington, Jim Sturgess, Ryan Kwanten and Jemima West (Channel 4’s forthcoming drama, Indian Summers), and looks like a pretty entertaining piece of nonsense, but while it has a US release date of March 6th, there is no UK release date yet.
Kidnapping Mr Heineken is directed by Daniel Alfredson (The Girl Who Played with Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest).
