	Media	Author	Review
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"The sole object lesson in the true-crime drama 'Kidnapping Mr. Heineken' is that not every crime deserves its own movie"
		Rex Reed The New York Observer	“Kidnapping Mr. Heineken” is one of those international co-productions produced for all the right tax-credit reasons and none of the right artistic ones (...) Alfredson seems completely lost here"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"A disappointingly superficial film in which neither the kidnappers nor their captives are particularly interesting"
		Scott Foundas Variety	"'Kidnapping Mr. Heineken' is one of those international co-productions produced for all the right tax-credit reasons and none of the right artistic ones."
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"By the time the relatively brief but seemingly interminable proceedings reach their conclusion, viewers may feel like they've been held hostage themselves."
