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)

The story itself is good and will remain so, whether you read about it on Wikipedia or not, unlike when you watch the film. Unfortunately, in this case, everything missed the mark, except for Anthony Hopkins, who once again managed to turn a few minutes of his presence into something that will dazzle you. He is an amazing actor. Unfortunately, the film as a whole is a failure, not suspenseful, and not well-paced.
