Curiosità:

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

Errori:

Continuity: When Mr. Hobbs and Ms. Quinn are first visiting in her office, she is smoking a cigarette. With each shot the length of her cigarette changes from short to long back to short and then to medium.

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.

I loved it!

For me, I will always enjoy a good diamond caper. And I will always want to see Demi Moore. Not because she's any great actress, not that she isn't worth it acting wise, but simply because she's interesting to watch. And she's a strong female actress. I don't like weak actresses.

Flawless is a simple movie, about a diamond robbery. Simple story, neat plot twist, and delightful to watch. I find audiences are so picky today, and have almost lost that simple pleasure of just watching a good story. This is a great story, that's not only pleasurable to watch, but fun!

Needless to say, Michael Caine is as always, fabulous! Well done!
