ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

ljphotos I'm a Michael Caine fan and have been working through his filmography the past six months. This title turned up and the synopsis sounded interesting. In fact, the movie IS interesting, but is cursed with inconsistent and poor sound engineering that smothers the dialogue with music underscoring sometimes, puts a group of actors in a reverberant room or lobby, or in an echoing stone sewer tunnel. To top it off, the producers only offer Spanish subtitles! Nevertheless, it's an imaginative plot with plenty of tension, aided by a period-appropriate sound track, suitably noir-ish lighting at key points, and a satisfying ending. For those who get a kick out of continuity flubs, watch for the scene with Caine near the beginning when he visits Demi Moore in her office. Pay attention to her amazing cigarette. Basically, a B- movie, it's a good entertainment for a rainy day.

slightlymad22 I stumbled across this little known Demi Moore and Michael Caine movie on TV last night, and on the strength of the lead actors, I decided to give it a go. A young reporter Natalie Dormer (from TV's Game Of Thrones) meets an old woman (Demi Moore complete with old age make up) Laura Quinn, to get her story about ........... Moore tells the story of being the lone female executive at London Diamond Corporation. In London in 1960. She is frustrated as her less-experienced male co-workers are promoted ahead of her. She is intrigued, when the mild-mannered night janitor, Mr. Hobbs (Michael Caine) approaches her with a daring but simple plan to steal a handful of diamonds from the vault.Joss Auckland has a supporting role and is as reliable as ever. It is funny, pet hates bother me even when I see it in movies. As I was getting annoyed when Michael Caine was talking away to Moore in a cinema during the movie. But it's hard to be too critical of a movie that gets so much right.It's a good movie, that had a decent amount of tension, The score is a valuable asset to the movie going from quirky to dramatic. Demi Moore remains one of the most talented and beautiful women in movies, and her ladylike sexiness is in rare supply. Any movie becomes better by having her name in it's cast.Given the talent involved, I'm surprised this failed to find an audience as it is more than an above average heist movie.

santomstella Its my opinion, any objections are warmly accepted.( No spoilers)The story starts when a young journalist meets a successful old aged woman to learn about her success story. The old lady was the managing director of the World's leading supplier of diamonds. she shows the journalist a diamond pf very high carat, and claims she stole it and goes forth to tell the story, which takes place in 1960.The lead character Laura is a manager of London diamonds who is workaholic in pursuit to gain a promotion, but there is no history a lady has achieved that post. Michael Cane portrays Mr.Hobbs the janitor of the company. Things get interesting when Laura gets an invitation to a movie which she assumes to be a blind date.A loose plot, the writer wanted to plot a brilliant robbery, but with all the modern security systems, he failed to see through them. Makes an excuse and goes back to 60's when security systems are weak and makes the robbery plot. But have to credit the idea, since only man who can see through his own time can make a robbery like that. Then again the writer is ahead of the story's time.

Mitch A This movie was horrible. What "could" have been a decent flick turned into a nonsensical movie that cared much more about getting a leftist "message" to us dumb bumpkins out in fly over country than entertaining us with a decent quality movie.1. Woman are smarter 2. Woman work harder 3. Woman care more 4. Woman getting repressed 5. Fat white guys with cigars are evil 6. Evil Corporations greedily stashing money from the people 7. Robinhood syndrome 8. Making the script fit your Political narrative at every scene. Why did the investigator let her go? Nobody noticed this woman spending a 100m lbs?As bad of hidden leftist dribble as I've ever seen in my life. Time these elitists learn a hard lesson...The Nazi's would be proud of today's Hollyweird...
