Curiosità:

The heist in "Flawless" is entirely fictional. Reports that it is loosely based on an actual robbery are inaccurate.

Errori:

Anacronismi: Early in the film a worry over problems in "Botswana and South Africa" is stated in the dialog, but the film is set in 1960 when the country of Botswana was still British Bechuananland (as correctly displayed later in the film on a large map of Africa); Botswana was not renamed until its independence in 1966.

Citazioni:

Laura Quinn: How'd you do it, Mr. Hobbs? How did you get them out?
Mr. Hobbs: [ignoring her question] Do you know what the hardest substance in the world is?
Laura Quinn: [ignoring his reply] And who's really behind this?
Mr. Hobbs: A Diamond. You rub it with a cloth, it lets off a charge. You put in water, it comes up dry. It's only enemy is another diamond.

(Nearly) Flawless

This little crime caper is a most welcome return to Demi Moore, who has been absent from the big screen for far too long (let's face it gang, what has she been in, of substance, since Ghost?). The film also features Michael Cain, always welcome,as a pre retired janitor working in London's diamond exchange in a time of political turmoil (South Africa ring a bell?). Cain & Moore,in their roles plot to heist a fortune in jewels, just to make a statement. What follows is a taut, razor's edge of a drama. Moore & Cain both play their characters to perfection. I guess if there's any flaw in this film is that how would a company,the size & stature of the London Diamond Exchange only have one janitor working for them? Apart from that, the film flies high.
