      They were dubbed the "Dutch version of the godfather" because of a kidnapping case.

      There have been many movies about kidnapping in Hong Kong, such as "Serial Bureau", "The Witness", etc., as well as "Rescue Mr. Wu", which has performed well recently. Most of these stories are based on real events, and they often attract attention. It's not the movie itself, but the events behind it. Over the years, some kidnapping cases have been solved, while some kidnapping cases have become unsolved.

      The film I want to talk about today is called "The Kidnapping Group" (also...

      Perfect self-help, traitors must die

      I like to read but rarely comment. I really don't like some comments, so I will simply say it.
      It is not recommended to watch this film for those who use less brains! ! !

      At the beginning of the film, Alfred was given a self-saving shot, dividing the individual, Xu Li's temptation, understanding the reason, hiding resources, etc., raising his value and lowering his posture, and successfully saved himself. The dismissed employees still remember the old man's good looks and the...

      "Shocking" that doesn't match the name

      I just wrote down some of my thoughts after watching the film. Maybe the logic is not rigorous
      . First of all, for various reasons, I have not watched "Silence of the Lambs" before, so there will be no old Hopkins sudden change. It will eat them, but he is really amazing. If this is not a movie based on a real story, I initially thought it would be a self-directed and self-acted kidnapping, because he was too calm and gave People feel that they are in control of everything, and think...

      You can run, but you can't hide.

      I don't think it's too brain-burning, but several people acted well. Hopkins is still a male god, but the drama is a little less, and when you see that he is the silent lamb, you feel that the robber is going to end~ The
      robber They came up with awe-inspiring righteousness, wit, bravery and kindness, but in the end they were cowardly, hating that iron is not steel. . .
      Two sentences like
      You can run, but you can't hide.
      There's two ways to be rich, you'd have a lot of money,...

      A very positive movie (with spoilers)

      First of all, I have to say that Mr. Heineken is a positive energy from beginning to end. When he was kidnapped, in order to let them get the money as soon as possible, he wrote a handwritten letter. He was very, very worried about the safety of the driver who was kidnapped with him. Even if the kidnapper threatened with a knife at the end of the reporter interview, he believed that they were only trading for money (not extreme villains), and if they felt that they got the money, they might...

      Very bad narrative and editing techniques, the film's logic is chaotic, and the plot tension of a crime film is missing here. Except for Anthony Hopkins' performance in a few scenes, it can be called...

      The 5 kidnappers are not cold-blooded and calm enough. I think they can cooperate more perfectly. For example, the matter of copy paper, such as the matter of Bang Bangji, such as scouting the surrounding environment before kidnapping, so as not to be seen by the reporter, such as not calling home , such as drinking in a bar and getting drunk, don't talk about kidnapping, it would be more perfect. . Anonymous report letter was done by one of the 5 kidnappers, believe it or...

      It's not shocking at all, it's all bubbles. The Heineken boss didn't brainwash the robbers, and everyone had hops pouring into their brains. PS, Ryan Kwanten is still so...

    Evaluation action

    Although "Kidnapping Freddy Heineken" is mainly about the story, the film is still interspersed with a lot of action scenes. The audience can feel the crazy racing on the streets of Amsterdam, the life-threatening escape of the speedboat on the canal, and the bank vault. A tragic fight, a tense confrontation under a skyscraper. In addition, from the key elements that promote the progress of the plot to the meticulous portrayal of the...
