Her crocodile tears were cause for unrestrained laughter. Writer Edward Anderson deserves to eat duck-kitten-toilet-space-sausage for what he has done to my sensibilities.ĭemi Moore performed like a crying two year old having a tantrum because she wants a cookie. Flawless doesn’t ask us to think outside the box, it just lights the box on fire with the audience inside, cruelly leaving us to burn in fiery cinematic damnation. In fairness, all diamond-casino-bank heist movies try to implement the ridiculous to make the story exciting by asking us to think outside the box (i.e., Ocean’s Thirteen). The heist itself reminded me of an old duck caring for kittens while making sausage in a toilet on a space station utterly nonsensical. I think I actually got a new wrinkle from crinkling my eyebrows at her bizarre behavior. Smart enough to see hidden negotiating tactics waiting to be deployed but such a simpleton she couldn’t see the writing on the wall. The character Laura Quinn is the stupidest smart woman in the history of cinema. To call the writing in Flawless atrocious would be like calling Bill Gates a man of comfortable wealth. What Laura Quinn doesn’t know will hurt her.

Rotund, greedy diamond executives keep the entire supply of diamonds in the vault in the basement. London Diamond Company owns the diamond trade all over the world. Flawless? - there couldn’t be a worse name for this movie.

Cigarette’s performance is smokin’ but it couldn’t save the movie from its ridiculously illogical and uneven script or from the likes of the other performances. The film's smoke-wreathed, tweed-clad style looks great, but the best reason to see Flawless is ultimately Caine's top-notch work as Hobbs.High-heeled shoes and cigarettes are the stars of the diamond heist snoozer Flawless. Anderson's clumsy, clunky modern-day sequences that book-end the retro cool of Moore and Caine's unlikely (and unstable) partnership in crime. Finch (Lambert Wilson) asks questions about the theft, Moore gets to be defined by who she is, not by the men around her.ĭirector Michael Radford shoots the heist material with cool competence making it even more of a shame that he didn't cut screenwriter Edward A.
Flawless 2007 pro#
The best thing in the film is Caine who could have imagined that one of the screen's biggest hams would have turned into such a subtle, sly old pro late in his career? Moore is also good - in the '60s scenes, Laura has a nice mix of toughness and vulnerability, and while there's a hint of romance in the air when handsome investigator Mr. Moore's clumsy old-age make-up is distracting, and the film's ultimate message feels tacked on and superfluous.
FLAWLESS is a perfectly fine caper film that's undermined by the framing device and moral lesson surrounding it.
