The Diamond Heist: Il futuro del Millennium Star

What a let down, as with all Guy Richie nonsense he glamorizes crime, in this case, real crime. And we have the half wit jack the lad, happy go lucky criminal grinning away calling the Police a bunch of C**** and showing no remorse for his crimes. Justifying it as it was the only path he knew. Showing us his failed attempts and then his masterpiece. It's not that, its the fact that they only got 4 years real time for their crimes, yeah sure dress it up as 14 years but in reality only serving 4. Case in point one of his accomplaces did it all over again when he came out. And our main character is just obviously a Cocaine Dealer now he is out and on the Straight and Narrow...it's blindingly obvious. So what this documentary says to me is "Commit your crimes, we will let you out early, turn you into a Star and set you up for life" I hate what this country has become. The policemans story is the one that should have been told, not that damned criminal.

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.

Truly unbelievable how a crew of men can pull off a high risk diamond heist like this, I'm not gonna lie, Netflix's really doing a great job making these types of mini-series. I always said that real life beats any movie or tv show and this is the proof, this mini-series is the evidence. Very well documented, very good footage, archive footage, etc. You don't need to do a research in order to watch this, it's very well done. You're not gonna get bored watching it, it's amazing how few men can plan something like this and actually stick to the plan and do the job, i highly recommend this mini-series.

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.

Take this as it is. It's a documentary about the failed, but audacious, attempt at stealing £350m (~$380m) worth of diamonds.

It was big news at the time. I don't think the limited series glorifies crime. It tells an accurate and compelling story.

It's not like your regular documentary, and it's British. So it's unique and compelling. If you have a Netflix subscription it doesn't cost you anything to watch.

Guy Richie is an executive director, and it shows. It's somewhere between a Lock Stock style movie and a fast paced Netflix documentary. It's good fun and the story is smartly weaved together between the robbers and the cops point of view.

Personally I really enjoyed it, and if you're not easily offended (by literally anything), I think you'll enjoy it too, particularly if you're not British (I am British living in Texas). I say that as it's a unique insight into British culture that actual Brits won't appreciate as much.
