United Kingdom | Time Out | "The problem is that as heist movies go this is about as captivating as watching someone dodge a bus fare. Almost everything about the film is second-rate: the direction, the plotting (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)" | NEG |
United States | New York Daily News | "Michael Caine and Demi Moore shine in 'Flawless'. (...) There is a nice sense of style, and appreciation for tense face-to-face confrontations (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)" | POS |
United States | Variety | "As neatly tailored, clean-cut, and visually appealing as a Savile Row suit. But audiences accustomed to more knowing fare are likely to find its twists and turns outdated" | NEU |
United States | New York Post |
"The plot contortions that very slowly unfold under Michael Radford's arthritic direction in Flawless are not much more entertaining. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of five)" |

United States | San Francisco Chronicle | "'Flawless' is a fictional tale, but something in director Michael Radford's conscientious, methodical presentation gives it the feeling of true history." | POS |
United States | ReelViews | "As heist films go, Radford has crafted an engaging, if not especially memorable one, with 'Flawless'." | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "The joy of this movie, which features Joss Ackland as a memorably intimidating, Afrikaner-accented boss, is in the gradual revelation of intrigue." | POS |
United States | Village Voice | "'Flawless' is the sort of movie that tends to get called "enjoyably old-fashioned," except that there's nothing enjoyable about it." | NEG |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "It's left to Caine to wink and nod at his own contribution to real caper classics of the 1960s and '70s, produced with more emphasis on fun and less on instructive fact-finding." | NEU |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "Not the freshest heist movie ever made, Flawless still has a few pleasures to offer, thanks to a well-studied social and political background and to Michael Caine's lovely creation." | POS |
United States | TV Guide | "Polished but oddly lifeless heist thriller." | NEU |
United States | AV Club | "Moore hasn't tackled a lead role since the turn of the century, and judging by her eminently forgettable work here, she hasn't spent that time painstakingly honing her chops." | NEG |
