Stolen: Heist of the Century

1. The heist was carried out in 2003, so one week after that incident, the main culprit comes back to diamond building and the detective gets a call to his android mobile phone while he driving his bike to home. I mean seriously!! The android phone in 2003!.

2. The day of heist is Feb 15th and 16th of 2003. They showed us that cctv the video cassettes were missing for those 2 days that's fine. But they revealed that after performing that heist in 15th night, the robbers take out the cassettes of 11th Feb from the rack and at that time there were no cassettes of 15th and 16th and the cassettes of 17, 18, ,19, and 20th of Feb are there in that row ( this happens in 15tg night).

I mean how the hell are those cassettes got missed on the same date? And how the hell the cassettes of next 4 days were kept there ( you can't have cctv footage of tomorrow and day after tomorrow on today right??)

This series presents a detailed look at a diamond heist. It features interviews with police and robbers, as well as tons of photographs and videos from the case. Overall, it does a great job breaking down the crime, the investigation, and the aftermath.

I didn't know anything about this occurrence before watching but I felt it provided a good picture based on all available evidence.

The only thing I didn't like was the attitude of some of the police who openly admitted they didn't understand how the robbers did certain things which is fine, and obvious. But then based on nothing, they then called the thieves liars when they explained how they did what they did. Basically, policeman came across as unknowledgeable, incompetent, But also extremely confident whatever did happen, the thieves aren't telling the truth...Seem like the lawman was still salty after all these years and just wanted to talk bad about the robbers.

The story of the 2003 diamond theft in Antwerp.

The film consists of interviews with the main convict and the police officers investigating the case. Each tells their own version of the story, and each has a different one. Although it is a documentary, it is very reminiscent of outstanding feature films such as Kurosawa's "Rashomon" from 1950 or Singer's "The Usual Suspects" from 1995.

A very well-made film (though at times overdramatized) about the fact that we will likely never know exactly what happened during the Antwerp robbery.

I don't think I have ever written a review of a documentary. Having seen many good documentaries, I was interested in watching this one. What a disappointment! It is just a continuous natterring of a cop's voice with some background assumed happening of the heist. Watching this was a total bore and no facts were laid bare other than assumptions. Eventually it comes to a conclusion after 1 and a half hours, but by then I was totally fed-up and sorry I watched it to conclusion.

As a huge fan of documentaries, I can say that this is my favorite of 2025 and probably in my top ten overall. The story of how these men pulled off a diamond heist from the diamond capital of the world-- in a building that could be described as Belgium's fort Knox-- kept me intrigued from start to finish. I'll spare the details, but suffice to say that this team had to think of everything and took their time doing it. It really kept me on the edge of my seat, as if I was watching a Mission Impossible movie the entire time.

I can't recommend this documentary enough.
