  • Starring: Demi Moore, Michael Caine
  • Summary: Flawless is a clever diamond-heist thriller set in swinging 1960s London. Demi Moore plays Laura Quinn, a bright, driven, and beautiful executive at the London Diamond Corporation who finds herself frustrated by a glass ceiling after years of faithful employment, as man after man is promoted ahead of her despite her greater experience. Michael Caine is Hobbs, the nighttime janitor at London Diamond who is virtually invisible to the executives who work there, but over the years has amassed a startling amount of knowledge about how the company runs. Hobbs has his own bone to pick with London Diamond and, observing Laura's frustration, convinces her to help him execute an ingenious plan to steal a hefty sum in diamonds. But unbeknownst to Laura, Hobbs plans go even further than he's let on, and together they set in motion a thrilling heist of dizzying proportions, the likes of which London has never seen.

    In the diamond-heist thriller Flawless, there aren't a lot of diamonds, heists or thrills. But there is a nice sense of style, and appreciation for tense face-to-face confrontations among characters trying to ignore the temptations around them.

    Not the freshest heist movie ever made, Flawless still has a few pleasures to offer, thanks to a well-studied social and political background and to Michael Caine's lovely creation.

    The plot contortions that very slowly unfold under Michael Radford's arthritic direction in Flawless are not much more entertaining.

    A gem. Flawless is a heist movie where the motives are more complicated than the usual "it's all about the money." The very human thieves, Moore and Caine, have believable human reasons for doing it. And they sweat bullets in the process. When they pull it off you're more thrilled than you are usually with these capers - where the motives of the thieves are the same as that of nine-year-old shoplifters; to get away with it, (by being oh-so clever) and to have the toys thus purloined. Revenge, such as powered the gang in The Italian Job, is juicier than greed. The English TV series Hustle is fun because the charming characters only work their scams on those who richly deserve to be taken. Caine, the old pro, has created a marvelous character in Hobbs the janitor here. See Flawless and you won't come away feeling ripped-off.… Expand
