The Diamond Heist

Great watch. Shows the insights to all the sides to the story and was a great piece of creative story telling. Filmmaking at its finest.

Guy Ritchies auteur style of filmmaking really had me throughout the edge at all times. Really enjoyed the humour throughout the whole three amazing episodes and it had an amazing element of surprise to it.

By showing all the perspectives of the people involved in it, its something which is rare to watch in the media, cinema or the news.

The documentary had everything. Classy visuals, great editing and amazing story telling techniques which you would expect from a Guy Ritchie film especially when it comes to the gangster genre.

We simply must! And not just monetarily compensate, but in street credibility as well - Dude even says how this hiest should have given him the respect he deserves - why are WE AS A SOCIETY rewarding them, even after they have served thier debt to society via incarceration - I just can't do it anymore and I wish that yall would join me - these stories can be told sans the criminals participant(s) and should do - we can recount or reenact in luie of giving these people exactly what the want (in some cases as much as the ill gotten gains) and don't get me wrong, I'm no saint and I'm more liberal than not, but this reward/redemption is problematic

I've given it a 5 because, as I've indicated, I chose to opt out soley on ethical (or I spose moral) reasons, the aforementioned reasons - and I did not feel it fair to penalize the film/filmmakers for this, but to be fair, I actually should, owing to everything I stated I feel strongly about - anyhow, I hope this resonates with some of yall.

On the one hand this is quite an interesting heist with a good story to tell.

On the other this is such a slick snd glossy production that it ends up glamorising and sanitising the real crime and gangsters as if it's one of Guy Ritchies dramas. There is a difference between TV drama and reality after all, and I think a different production style would have helped. It also gives a lot of attention and voice to the criminals themselves, which is what they want (as they say in their own words). Almost resulting in giving the impression they were in the right or somehow entitled to do what they did.

This series describes the story about a diamond heist in London from the point of a robber/thief, journalist and a cop.

It glorifies the life of the robber - who just wants to score because of money and status. Forgetting everything else - like his two daughters.

It has three episodes - and god might question why. This little story could easily have been told in one or two episodes - but hey: Netflix wanted a show.

Overall: very mediocre. It gives a glimpse of the prework before the heist. But is mainly repetitive. How often have we seen the clip with the boat or the spiked van? No, this is just too simple.

This is great insight to a wonderful caper!

To have the insight of the thieves, police and justice system is rare. It's a wonderful documentary.

My only gripe is the cuts to visuals of sharks etc. I think the viewer should be credited with more intelligence.

All of that said, this is compelling viewing.
