Anybody see "Flawless" with Michael Caine and Demi Moore?
I rented it because I wanted to see a good suspense thriller but I was surprised that there was a strong political statement in the film. It's like "Inside Man" in that way. Caine and Moore are employees of a monopolistic diamond company that appears to be based on DeBeers. It's set in the 1960s and Moore is a successful manager who keeps hitting the glass ceiling while Caine is a janitor with an even bigger axe to grind. They conspire to steal some diamonds but if I say anymore I'll just spoil it for you. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a look.

1. Just a post before it goes...
Screen it if you get a chance, fellow DUers. I think you'd like how this movie turns out.
:kick:

6. It's pretty suspenseful at times
I did a lot of cringing but then again I like movies that make me cringe. This movie should appeal to suspense fans as well as liberals circa right now even though it's set in the 1960s. :hi:

5. Sorry, I already returned it
And it's too bad cuz I should've checked for alternate endings in the special features. It's the kind of movie that could've had alternate endings though I was quite satisfied with the one it had. :hi:
