London in the 1960s: For years, Mr. Hobbs (Michael Caine) has worked as a janitor for the world's leading diamond dealer “London Diamond”. Now he is about to retire and looks back with bitterness. The loyal employee feels cheated by his employer, who has not even paid the insurance benefits of his now deceased wife. Mr. Hobbs therefore decides to leave the stage with a big bang and relieve “London Diamond” of a few stones. He finds an ally in the highly qualified and elegant Laura Quinn (Demi Moore). She is the first woman to climb the corporate ladder. But the strictly male-dominated corporate culture of Lon Di, which has a monopoly on the global diamond market, only allows Quinn to hit the glass ceiling. “Flawless” is an elegantly staged thriller with a sixties flair. Director Michael Radford (“The Postman”) takes his time to introduce his protagonists, in contrast to similarly themed representatives of the heist genre, such as the “Ocean's Eleven” series. The London of the early 1960s is perfectly captured, and alongside Demi Moore, Michael Caine (37 years after his legendary crook role in “The Italian Job”) shines as a janitor who takes us along on his late, but all the more sophisticated revenge raid.
