Today's moviegoer too often demands instant gratification. Here, if you are patient, you will be rewarded. Good acting by fine actors leaves you more than satisfied as the credits roll.

Even though I rate this film 3 stars, I actually really liked it. Caine and Moore -- usually not one of my fave actresses -- give top-notch performance, and the supporting cast is also fabulous (esp. Wilson, of course), enough for me to have watched this several times. The heist plot itself (supposedly loosely based on "true events" from the 60s) is brilliant.

However, I cannot give the film a higher rating because I must blame the filmmakers for including way too many cliched moments, from the incompetent security guard to an old man doing the impossible (and doing it many times) to "making the world a better place" message. And the 100 million pound sterling question is not that hard to figure out, if you've watched a lot of robbery films. Anyway, I really wish the filmmakers had made the plot tighter and more believable.

Still, a film worth watching... several times, in fact. Moore and Caine are that good.

It's a great!The only problem is no English subtitle on film.Cause I am a customer of oversea. So it is a little bit diffcult for understand what the story of film.

For me the film is slow and overly detailed.
The acting is very good by most of the principle players,
but the plot drags out time-wise
so that you lose interest.
In the 60's the diamond business was pretty much South Africa
and British control of the industry to hold prices high.
It is the basic monopoly type of business.
A janitor and a passed over female executive take them down.
Just how? You have to see the movie to find out!
But since diamonds are so controlled: if you stole them all,
you still couldn't sell them.

Flawless builds up to a great story very slowly. The concept is great! The execution of the plot is wonderful! Both Demi Moore and Michael Caine are superb in the charaters they play.

If the pace were a bit quicker it would have been a Great Movie!
