Diamant noir

Pier Ulmann cases houses and works with Rachid in break-ins. His estranged father Victor dies penniless. Victor mangled his hand while cutting a diamond for the family business and then lost his inheritance to his brother Joseph. After the funeral, Pier's cousin Gabi offers him a job renovating the diamond office. Gabi is trying to push the business into a bigger wholesaler buying from Vijay Sha Gopal's cutting operation. Joseph vehemently disagrees and tries to buy Rick De Vries' cutting operation to work on boutique specialty large stones. Pier sees the opportunity to case the office and avenge his father. He infiltrates the family business and befriends Gabi's boxing wife Luisa.

This is an intriguing noirish story but director Arthur Harari needs a more stylish flair. The most memorable scene is killing a pigeon. The movie starts off with a bloody scene. That may have raised my expectations but it doesn't maintain that intensity. The lead is reserved for the most part due to the story. It's not really a caper movie or a thriller. It's a family dysfunction movie.
