Movie Reviews of FlawlessMovie Review: Elegant Old School Heist Summary: 5 Stars
And one of the very few Demi Moore productions that I can honestly say works perfectly. No weak plotholes, no imperfect characterizations, no wasted or wasteful verbiage, timing or editing. Just like the stones they manage - it's been cut perfectly.
I'm a huge fan of heist flicks and this one is truly memorable.
Additionally, if there were ever a film that truly celebrates women WITHOUT the pathetic Hollywood clichés that consistently find their way into so called 'empowerment' flicks - this is it. I can't recommend this enough to any woman, young or old, who won't be inspired by Moore's performance as Laura Quinn - the strong, bold and energetic professional consistently pre-judged and passed over by lesser individuals simply because she's female.
This peek into the inequalities that women faced in the early days of the postwar business world is sadly authentic and accurate. But her response to the continual professional and personal indignities is wickedly wonderful.
There are a few really unexpected twists - enough for even the most jaded heist fans to be kept guessing. Just what is Mr. Hobb's (Michael Caine) end game? What really happened at The London Diamond Exchange all those years ago?
A top notch film on so many levels. Worth a purchase to save against rental charged repeat viewings.
I'll add this: If you're a fan of 'Mad Men' - this is a must see.
