When they're turned down for a bank loan, low-level career criminals (Sturgess and Worthington) embark upon one of the most audacious and infamous crimes in recent history, the kidnapping of Freddy Heineken (Hopkins), heir to the brewing empire and one of the wealthiest men in the Netherlands. But once the deed is done, the reality of life on the run and the pressures of guilt soon begin to infect the kidnappers as they start to unravel from within. (Signature Entertainment)

This story is good in itself and will remain good even if you read about it on Wikipedia and not when you watch the movie. Unfortunately, in this case, everything missed the mark, except for Anthony Hopkins, who once again manages to turn a few minutes of his presence into something that will impress you. This is the man, the actor. Unfortunately, the film as a whole did not turn out well, it is not suspenseful and not well-structured.
