(Fox Movie Channel)

Charles Grodin is an American diamond buyer visiting a large dealership in London. One day he is summoned to the mansion of a millionaire who wants him to purchase a special large diamond. Instead, they decide to pick the diamond dealership clean in a cleverly planned heist. He enlists the help of his rich bimbo girlfriend Candice Bergen, in a terrible performance, and inside man James Mason, a disgruntled employee with terminal cancer. Mason's role in their plan is both critical and improbable, not only does he gain access to the vault, but his medical condition allows him to do it with no fear of being caught. Grodin provides ongoing narration, occasionally becoming nothing more than commentary on the action, which is both unnecessary and irritating.
