Flawless is a 2007 British fictional crime film directed by Michael Radford, written by Edward Anderson, and starring Michael Caine and Demi Moore.
The film is set in London and in the early 1960s. Mr. Hobbs, a janitor played by Michael Caine, is about to retire but does not want to leave empty-handed. He asks Laura Quinn (Demi Moore), a disgruntled executive victimized by the glass ceiling, to help him steal from the company for which they both work: the London Diamond Corporation.
The film opens with the camera focusing on women in various positions of power, from different backgrounds, most of them handling some kind of business on PDAs or cellular phone. The camera follows one woman, a writer for a newspaper who is doing a piece on "Women Who Led." As she enters a restaurant to interview a woman to be included in this piece, she is talking on her cell phone to an associate who has guaranteed her a front page spot for a story, of which the writer seems to be very proud. The woman she is meeting with is Laura Quinn, the only woman to ever have been a manager at the London Diamond Corporation during the late 50s into 1960. Quinn in a very nonchalant manner places a box on the table, and out of this box pulls a large diamond of approximately 123 carats (25 g). The writer is astounded and eyes the piece as Quinn says, "I stole it."
