Michael Caine's excellent performance makes Flawless something more than an average heist movie.

I think if the script had some tweaking, this could have been a great heist film. Instead, it's just another mediocre one.

The picture is mildly entertaining, aided strongly by the retro period and Caine's authoritative performance. As for Moore, the script doesn't offer her much - certainly not the intensity that brought her equal parts fame and derision.

May not quite live up to the daunting implication of its title, but as a solid piece of beautifully acted and precisely written filmmaking, you'll find nothing better.

The answers to its most intriguing puzzles disappoint, and the final motive provided for this near-perfect scheme can only be described as flawed.

It seems irresponsible, if not downright stupid, for the makers of any movie to call their feature Flawless. But the most current film to sport that risky title has a number of serious storytelling flaws.

It's a work of brilliant cut, color and clarity that delivers on almost all of its ambitious promises.

Screenwriter Edward Anderson drops the South African angle in favor of more conventional developments and has a hard time bringing this across the finish line without a number of implausibilities.

There are better heist films, but none of them are showing at your local movie theater this month

Like the diamonds that motivate its characters, Flawless” has a pretty surface but not much else.

Flawless isn't impossibly joyless, but it's a lot less fun than it ought to be...

If not worth its weight in gold (or diamonds), at least worth the price of a movie ticket.

This is a first rate caper piece elevated by Caine’s effortlessly elegant portrayal.

The inspired pairing of Demi Moore and Michael Caine as a pair of thieves in the diamond-heist semi-caper movie Flawless goes a long way toward overcoming the film's slack, leisurely pacing.

May not live up to its title, but when Caine's onscreen it definitely sparkles.

Unlike Ocean’s Thirteen, this formulaic heist movie has a streak of psychological perversity.

Where are the truth in titular advertising police when you need them?

This is an old-fashioned escapade that respects everyone's intelligence and allows you to cheer for the underdog. Moore actually plays an age-appropriate character who handles the heavy burden that represents women at the time with depth and aplomb.
