From director Michael Radford (THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, IL POSTINO) comes FLAWLESS, a clever diamond-heist thriller set in swinging 1960s London. Demi Moore plays Laura Quinn, a bright, driven and beautiful executive at the London Diamond Corporation who finds herself frustrated by a glass ceiling after years of faithful employment, as man after man is promoted ahead of her despite her greater experience. Michael Caine is Hobbs, the nighttime janitor at London Diamond who is virtually invisible to the executives that work there, but over the years has amassed a startling amount of knowledge about how the company runs. Hobbs has his own bone to pick with London Diamond. Observing Laura’s frustration, he convinces her to help him execute an ingenious plan to steal a hefty sum in diamonds. But unbeknownst to Laura, Hobbs plans go even farther than he’s let on, and together they set in motion a thrilling heist of dizzying proportions, the likes of which London has never seen.

“A DEEPLY SATISFYING CATHARSIS. An entertainingly nostalgic journey to old Britain – the world we remember from long-ago Hitchcock and David Lean movies – and the potent storytelling that we also miss. It’s a pleasure to tread those old streets again.” – Desson Thomson, Washington Post
“A CONFIDENCE GAME IN THE BEST SENSE OF THE WORD. The time zips by while you’re watching it.” – Ty Burr, Boston Globe
“NEAT AND SATISFYING. It may be the beginning of a strong second act for Demi Moore. She’s a powerhouse, like Susan Heyward and Joan Crawford combined.” – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle.
“It’s a pleasure to watch such well crafted entertainment.” – Bill White, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“TWO UP! AN ENTERTAINING HEIST FILM. Caine makes it fun.” – Michael Phillips, Ebert & Roeper
“TWO UP! VERY STYLISH. Demi Moore is good and Michael Caine is always fun.” – Richard Roeper, Ebert& Roeper
“***1/2. A taut caper film in which the robbery is ingenious. Like a diamond, it’s a story with many intriguing facets.” Marshall Fine, Star Magazine
“A diverting, confident heist thriller.” Ben Kenigsberg. Time Out New York
‘The film’s plot and stylish treatment keep you riveted.” – New York Magazine
“A CHARMER! The theft is ingenious and Demi Moore is fascinating, doing some of her best work ever.” – Karen Durbin, Elle
“PROVOCATIVE. A SLICK AND SWIFT HEIST FILM. Demi Moore is a smoldering presence.” – Ned Martel, Men’s Vogue
“An impressive script and polished direction give this refreshing surprise a classic sheen. Caine is typically brilliant and Demi Moore gets to sink her teeth into what may be the best pure acting role she’s had since ‘Ghost’.” – Wade Major, LA City Beat
“Demi Moore and Michael Caine are an inspired pairing.” – Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
