Erna 2022-03-25 08:01:01

Vulnerability 1: The lame was not so lucky to run so many times without being detected by monitoring, and launched two-ton diamonds in batches, each time he was tired, the speed was too slow, and the risk was too great.

Vulnerability 2: Insurance companies and diamond companies will definitely check the transportation route of the theft as soon as possible. In addition to the vehicle monitoring on the ground, it is the inspection of the underground tunnel. It is impossible to wait until the ransom is paid before the female staff finds those diamonds.

Loophole 3: The president of the insurance company did not necessarily commit suicide just before the diamonds were returned after the ransom was paid, this accident was outside the control of the cripple.


Improvement plan: If I design the plot, I will use the cup to bring out the largest diamonds to extort the ransom. If the ransom is not obtained, I will also earn a lot of money. All the remaining diamonds are burned in the trash can in the secret room (diamonds are hard, but the composition is carbon, which is flammable), so that it is only used once, and the risk is minimized.


Aspect 1: Reproduction of street scenes and costumes in London in the 1950s and 1960s. The interior was shot at the National Theatre in Luxembourg, but it didn't feel out of place; costume designer Dinah Collin showed a minimalist re-creation of the conservative retro style of the time.

Aspect 2: Demi Moore's charm of a 48-year-old middle-aged woman still exists. The theme of feminism is very appropriate in the plot design of the female reporter at the beginning and the end. The two-time Oscar-winning actor Michael Caine's rivalry is also worth watching.

Point 3: The inner business operation of the CSO of the London headquarters of De Beers, the world's largest diamond company, can be glimpsed. It has reference value for the study of business cases such as corporate governance, business negotiation, internal confidentiality, security, insurance, anti-monopoly, and public relations.
