Synopsis: Michael Radford (Il Postino and The Merchant of Venice) directs screenwriter Edward Anderson's script about an aging janitor and an American executive who form an unlikely alliance in order to carry out an elaborate jewel heist. Set in 1960s-era London, the tense crime thriller stars Michael Caine as the scheming maintenance man who longs to relieve his employers at the London Diamond Corporation of their valuable inventory, and Demi Moore as the savvy executive who is completely perplexed by the wealthy diamond magnates. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

My Review: WOW! This film was great. The film is based around the crime of the stolen diamonds, and why it was done and how it was done. Even though I know who did it, I loved trying to guess why or how. The film is based in the 1960s and Michael Caine does an excellent job. He plays his role perfectly as the old janitor who is very smart. Obviously the theme of the film is not the best about getting back at your enemies, but regardless the film is very intense, and Demi Moore always keeps you guessing as to whether or not she is going to break. The film ends with a positive uplifting end.

Recommend: Yes! The kids will not enjoy this, but this film is very excellent. If you like a detective film then you will love this film. The movie is clean for the kids, but like I said they will lose interest fast. Don't let this movie pass by as it is a must see.
