FLAWLESS IS ANYTHING BUTTerrible, terrible, terrible... Demi Moore is so pretty to look at, but so lifeless on-screen in this movie, full of flaws. Demi is Laura Quinn, a woman in the 1960's working in a man's world. After being passed over for promotion and seeing the end of her job in sight, she is just right for joining in a scheme to steal from her employer, a diamond exchange. Michael Caine is Mr. Hobbs, a long-time janitor for the company. It takes at least half the movie just to explain each of their past dealings with the company. Problem is, who cares? Caine is phoning in his part, as it is a role very much beneath his abilities. Moore plain can not act. There is no difference in her voice, her eyes, her body... there is only one gear she uses to act. There are many still shots of her "contemplating" while sucking down yet another cigarette. The film is too long and the plot moves so very slowing, inching along trying to create anticipation. Thing is, who cares??? There is no attachment to either character, to the plot to anything. The ending is mildly interesting, but not worth sitting through the other part of the movie. They say there are four "C"s in the diamond business: Carat Weight, Cut, Color, and Clarity. This movie's four "C"s are: Careless, Crap, Clumsy and Childish.
NOT a pick: Waste of good film... if you need to fall asleep, watch it.
