A modest little caper film that satisfies chiefly because of its relative familiarity and lack of ambition.

Flawless is a fictional tale, but something in director Michael Radford's conscientious, methodical presentation gives it the feeling of true history.

Un vioque et une cougar s'associent pour monter un casse audacieux et pas forcément désagréable à regarder grâce bien évidemment à la présence de Michael Caine. Demi Moore quant à elle ne convainc qu'à moitié comme trop souvent, hélas ! Le scénario et la réalisation se révèlent solides pendant un certain temps, alors que vers la fin qui **** tout de même à se manifester, le dit scénario nous dévoile quelques ficelles et explications à la fois peu crédibles et notablement embrouillées. A noter la présence également de Lambert Wilson, notre français très anglais en enquêteur fouineur et de Natalie Dormer tellement bien déguisée en pétasse que j'ai mis plusieurs minutes à la reconnaître. Incroyable, cette Natalie ! On n'a donc clairement pas le film du siècle mais un divertissement moyen dans l'ensemble mais qui sait passer le temps.

There isn't much going on here, and contrary to the title, Flawless is definitely flawed. The performances are surprisingly bland, and the story is, too. There isn't much heist, diamonds, or interesting characters here; just a movie that has some style and multiple clichés.

Over all though, this is a first rate caper piece elevated by Caine’s effortlessly elegant portrayal. The movie is wall to wall with pompous, sexist, greedy backstabbers and it’s a hoot to watch Hobbs mop the floor with the lot of them.

The filmmakers' narrative device of framing Quinn's tale as a feature-length flashback doesn't pay off - we get a goody-two-shoes moral lesson at the end, and a look at movie studio aging makeup gone wild.

A mildly diverting period heist movie.

It's left to Caine to wink and nod at his own contribution to real caper classics of the 1960s and '70s, produced with more emphasis on fun and less on instructive fact-finding.

Flawless is the sort of movie that tends to get called "enjoyably old-fashioned," except that there's nothing enjoyable about it. The pacing is torpid, the plotting slack, and the performances utterly joyless--chiefly Moore, who walks through every scene with her face stretched into an expressionless mask, her lips pressed into a permanent pout.

With an interesting premise, plus Michael Caine and Demi Moore, Flawless should have been set up for success. Nevertheless, it falls flat on its face.
