Many Dutch movies are recognizably that. Dutch film acting is alas often still of a lesser quality than that of British or American actors. In this film however the main characters are totally believavle. Rutger Hauer presents what is possibly his best performance ever, but Reinaut Scholten as the main focus within the criminal circle also never drops the ball.
The story is ofcourse firmly based on facts, some of which were not mentioned in the media at the time.
The story of the kidnapping of Freddy Heineken was also made into a television series, which excelled in choice of music, and takes the story beyond the release of Willem Holleeder.
Both are well worth watching.
