An average movie

Basically, it is one of those movies I ended up watching just because Michael Caine was in it but, to be honest, I really had a hard time to figure out if I actually liked it. First of all, the introduction was really tedious. It was like a warning 'Don't worry, the first 20 minutes will be really tedious but, with this lame intro, we want to make sure you understand that it will become really exciting at some point'. Pretty weak, in my opinion. Still, the whole thing looked pretty good and it was nice that Demi Moore portrayed someone who was not 20 years younger than she actually was (She was still 7 years older than her character but nevermind). Anyway, she was not bad at all even though her job was pretty thankless since she was clueless about what was going on almost until the end. Michael Caine was, as usual, pretty awesome and really made the whole thing really watchable. Eventually, I always had a weak spot for heist movies and it was a nice touch that it took place in the 60's when it seemed more doable to rob some diamonds without all the nifty technical security gadgets that they have nowadays. Still, I wasn't entirely convinced by the whole scheme. Indeed, it is really hard to believe that Caine could go on all night without being spotted at any moment by the security guard. I guess, those videos were not recorded at the time otherwise, it would have been even more obvious. To conclude, my rating might be a little bit too generous but I enjoyed most of it and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
