Watch The Last Diamond For Free

You won't be disappointed!

Very well executed

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I liked it as it did not get too dark, and this is a break from the common thriller fare. Energising score, perfect acting, writing and direction. Beholding the appearance and character of the female lead, absolutely beautiful, is escapism in itself. The story layers upon itself with not so predictable moves, where some parts are a little predictable. But hey, if one wants something light, a balance of predictability and innovation works well.Thoroughly enjoyed this, and will be honing in on more French films as a result.

French film Le Dernier Diamant (The Last Diamond) is another example of the French's way with a crime caper film, this one from 2014.Simon (Yvan Attal) is released on parole but gets right back into the robbery game with Albert (Jean-Franccois Stevenin). The heist is for the famous Florentin diamond, 137 carats being sold at auction. The plans for the theft are exceedingly complicated. Simon must somehow win the confidence of the woman handling the auction, Julia (Bérénice Bejo), who is taking the job over from her recently deceased mother. Simon tells Julia that he worked closely on security with her mother on her biggest assignments. This wins him entree to her hotel room, her safe, and ultimately her bed. Wonderful in its complexity, Le Dernier Diamant manages to have humor as well as drama. You'll wonder what's going on when the heist takes place so far from the end of the film, but fear not, there's much more to come. One thing I liked about this is the follow-through with Lisette, the dog. It sounds like a small detail but often in films these details are ignored, leaving animal lovers like myself left wondering.Very entertaining.

Nothing more than entertaining. Far away from THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, this pleasant crime flick is not boring at all, well acted and filmed. But unfortunately totally destroyed by the silly ending. For silly audiences because of whom we Watch so many craps - among crime or films noirs, I mean, not comedies. In resume forget Jean-Pierre Melville or Olivier Marchal's atmospheres here. A total waste, if you dare comparing. This feature is not a comedy, and neither exactly a drama, as it is described above. You can Watch it whilst eating your popcorn, and forget it afterwards.An ex con is asked to pull a daring heist, the stealing of a fabulous diamond. The caper itself is interesting, and the characters around it not uninteresting. You find here the usual elements that you may expect in this kind of films. No surprise. Good suspense, and some twists.An acceptable time waster. Nothing more.
