NMR: Flawless

You probably don't remember this film, even though it was just in theaters last March as it came and went with little fanfare. Starring Demi Moore and Michael Caine, Flawless is a heist movie involving the two leads trying to stead diamonds from the London Diamond Company during the 1960s. The film is loosely based on real events. If you are a fan of the heist movie genre, you may be slightly disappointed in this one. The thrills are kept to a minimum and given the lack of security in the 60s as compared today, the effort to steal the diamonds isn't all that difficult. Still, the film does deliver a couple of surprises that make you invested in seeing how things play out in the end. Demi Moore's performance here is nothing noteworthy, but as usual, Caine is a delight here and delivers a fun performance. There is no urgency to see this film, but if you're looking for a heist movie that you haven't already seen, this will do suitably. Rating: ***
