2025 feels like the year of the documentary. Here is another Netflix true-crime doc gracing my blog as one of the year's best films. This is the true story of one of the largest diamond heists in history which took place in 2003 in Antwerp Belgium. A group of thieves broke into an almost impenetrable vault (obviously not that impenetrable if they got in, right?) and grabbed millions upon millions of diamonds and then simply disappeared. I love heist movies. This documentary plays like any great one. The fact it's a true story made me love it even more. Leonardo Notarbartolo was the mastermind behind it. He really is a remarkable character. Forget
Mission: Impossible, this is the real deal. Or sort of. Can Notarbartolo be trusted in his recounting? Sometimes it felt like it was a Kaiser Soze tale being spun, which made the whole thing even more entertaining. I won't say anything more, because I don't want to spoil the magic of this incredible heist. Catch this while you can, if you can (see what I did there). Streaming on Netflix.
