Everybody Loves Diamonds

This is the review of the English dubbed version. Despite the lips not matching well at times, the dubbed English voices are done very well and convey the character's individual mannerisms very well. It is also a homage of sorts to the earlier Italian crime movies from the seventies also dubbed in English.

The story is told from various different parts of the timeline before and after the robbery but is easy to follow and quite exciting in each episode.

The acting is good but quirky enough to irritate a large segment of viewers used to the stiff monochromatic and one dimensional characters of modern movies. The lead investigator is very good despite being a bit of a racist - again cast in a playful manner against the stereotypical role that Hollywood would assign. And our hero or ant-hero - the mastermind is determined, funny and yet almost righteous in his quest for greatness.

A fun caper movie to be enjoyed by those who appreciate character and pay less attention to authenticity of the real events this is based on.
