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.

Critic Reviews

James Berardinelli

As heist films go, Radford has crafted an engaging, if not especially memorable one, with Flawless. Read full review

Ty Burr

It's assured and neatly crafted - the time zips by while you're watching it. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

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. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

The heist in Flawless comes at the film's midpoint, but although Radford wrings some nice suspense from the sequence, the theft isn't his primary focus here. It's what happens next. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Polished but oddly lifeless heist thriller. Read full review

Stephen Holden

A mildly diverting period heist movie. Read full review

Scott Foundas

Flawless is the sort of movie that tends to get called "enjoyably old-fashioned," except that there's nothing enjoyable about it. The pacing is torpid, the plotting slack, and the performances utterly joyless--chiefly Moore, who walks through every scene with her face stretched into an expressionless mask, her lips pressed into a permanent pout.

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 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

There isn't much going on here, and contrary to the title, Flawless is definitely flawed. The performances are surprisingly bland, and the story is, too. There isn't much heist, diamonds, or interesting characters here; just a movie that has some style and multiple clichés.

Un vioque et une cougar s'associent pour monter un casse audacieux et pas forcément désagréable à regarder grâce bien évidemment à la présence de Michael Caine. Demi Moore quant à elle ne convainc qu'à moitié comme trop souvent, hélas !

Le scénario et la réalisation se révèlent solidesUn vioque et une cougar s'associent pour monter un casse audacieux et pas forcément désagréable à regarder grâce bien évidemment à la présence de Michael Caine. Demi Moore quant à elle ne convainc qu'à moitié comme trop souvent, hélas !

Le scénario et la réalisation se révèlent solides pendant un certain temps, alors que vers la fin qui tarde tout de même à se manifester, le dit scénario nous dévoile quelques ficelles et explications à la fois peu crédibles et notablement embrouillées.

A noter la présence également de Lambert Wilson, notre français très anglais en enquêteur fouineur et de Natalie Dormer tellement bien déguisée en pétasse que j'ai mis plusieurs minutes à la reconnaître. Incroyable, cette Natalie !

On n'a donc clairement pas le film du siècle mais un divertissement moyen dans l'ensemble mais qui sait passer le temps.… Expand

With an interesting premise, plus Michael Caine and Demi Moore, Flawless should have been set up for success. Nevertheless, it falls flat on its face.
