Flawless (2007)


FLAWLESS  (2007)  
¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Michael Radford
    Michael Caine, Demi Moore, Lambert Wilson
    Joss Ackland, Nathaniel Parker, Nicholas Jones
A janitor facing retirement and a career woman who can't break through the glass ceiling join forces in a diamond heist. A decently executed caper, worth catching if you haven't watched a movie about a diamond heist in a while. The relationship between Caine and Moore is functional, not romantic - there's the difference in their ages, for one thing - and except for Caine's customary droll performance, there's not much in the way of humor. The moral issues are what make it interesting, with both characters, for different reasons, seeking revenge, and seeing the diamonds as a means to an end. Another thing. As in politics sometimes, it's not the crime, it's the coverup that can get you into real trouble.
