I get why Demi Moore shot to fame in the 1990s. And even if I didn’t, her soul, ahem, baring performance in “Striptease” sealed the deal. To quote Borat, “wha-wha-weewha!”
But she never impressed me as an actress, and when she all but disappeared from the movie scene my eyes didn’t exactly moisten with longing.
She returned earlier this year alongside the incomparable Michael Caine in “Flawless,” a period whodunit. Moore plays a London Diamond Corp. executive who plots revenge against her bosses for giving less talented peers all the promotions.
My Washington Times review from its March release gives much more love to Caine and the story’s sly appeal than Moore’s performance. But you do get to see Moore in some funky old age makeup.
