Flawless (2007) 6/10

Starring : Demi Moore, Michael Caine, Lambert Wilson, Joss Ackland
Director : Michael Radford
Running Time : 105 mins

As one of the first high ranking business women in the US, Laura Quinn (Moore) has some pretty big boots to fill, but as her ideas are ignored then stolen by her colleagues, she finally becomes bitter about the whole ordeal, until maintenance man Mr Hobbs (Caine) suggests to her a way to get her own back on her bosses by stealing a valuable jewel.

This is a nice twist on the usual heist movie that seem to come along in droves, and despite some mediocre performances from all involved the story is still reasonably engrossing enough to keep a viewer watching. The beginning and ending sequences, with Moore as an old woman talking to a reporter, felt a little unnecessary in my opinion, but worked well just the same.
