If you're familiar at all with 1998's "Suicide Kings," you'll be pleasantly surprised with "The Heineken Kidnapping." The film stars Dutch superstar turned American supervillain Rutger Hauer, returning to his acting roots. Despite the serious case of deja vu, "The Heineken Kidnapping" manages to stand apart as a solid crime thriller. Based upon the actual kidnapping of beer mogul Alfred Heineken, the film is part period piece and part docudrama, although the facts of the case have been stretched and sensationalized for the purpose of the film. Nonetheless, the basic story itself holds up due to the sheer reality of the situation.
