Format:DVD
Excellent acting, a great script, fabulous sets and good directing. It's a heist movie but its power lies in its simplicity and its quietness - no explosions, no lasers, no descending on pulleys from the ceiling. The plot is character driven and it's a howdunnit rather than a whodunnit. I'd never heard of this film - bought it on the Caine / Moore pairing - but it exceeded my hopes as well as my expectations (and that rarely happens). Buy it.

Format:DVD
Watched this interesting heist film twice after I rented it. Excellent acting from Michael Caine, Demi Moore, Joss Ackland and the French chappy who plays the investigator. It's nice to watch an engrossing film with minimal bad language, no sex and no violence in it. This is a DVD that you can watch with friends or mature family members without having to apologise for the offensive content and which should glue them to their seats. Also an altruistic motive provides a warm ending.
I have minor quibbles about some scenes that show Demi Moore performing unlikely feats such as undoing plumbing joints with her bare hands or sloshing through sewers in high heels! The dialogue is difficult to hear at times. Apart from that, thoroughly recommendable.

Format:Blu-ray
On the surface as you watch this movie you'll say to yourself "I have seen this many times before and I know the formula." And ask yourself "do I really need to see it again?" Yet as the story unfolds you find there is more to it than a simple diamond heist and ask "how could I have missed this film."
The story begins in flashback mode and tries to set us up with the few red herrings.
Mr. Hobbs (Michael Caine) a janitor in a large diamond company is about to retire. All he wants is a souvenir that he can pack in his Thermos on the way out. Unfortunately even though he knows where the numbers to the safe is, he cannot get there by himself. Laura Quinn (Demi Moore) the only female executive in the firm (in the 1960's) has been passed over three times for a promotion. So Mr. Hobbs recruits her for a little revenge of her own. With all the diamonds in the vault nobody is going to miss a small Thermos full.
You are in for a surprise and an adventure.
When the flashback mode ends the story begins.

Diamonds
Average caper, with good setting (genuine diamond company HQ in London) but average plot and average acting.

An interesting and gripping robbery film
Every robbery has a motive in itself. The main reason is of course the material gain. In the film "Flawless" we do not know the main reason for the robbery until the very end. Read more
