Demi Moore’s major flaw in “Flawless” is she got out-acted. What can you expect when your competition is Sir Michael Caine? Their characters eventually team up to steal diamonds from their mutual employer in the story. But, more prominently, the consummate English thespian steals today’s carefully stylized, character-driven crime thriller from Moore as its protagonist.

It’s a little like setting cubic zirconia alongside real gems. Moore, ever the movie star, certainly does look the part. Like a Hitchcockian heroine, all brittle private terror beneath the impeccable grooming, she’s shiny-cool indivine period garb playing the proto-feminist executive Laura Quinn in early 1960s corporate London.
