Daniel Craig, in fact the entire cast are aces. One of the best overlooked scripts in history. A perfectly told story unfolding through flashbacks and forwards. A story of what happens when you try to get out of organized drug trafficking. Brilliant on all levels from start to the surprise finale.
Enjoy it will become one of your true favorites and warrants multiple viewings.
This film is one of my favorites of all time. I love the weaving of mafioso rhetoric along with a smooth blend of a perspective entrepreneur's witty bravado. This film intertwines the coming of age and a success ladder message as only Layer Cake can.
I heard about this movie from a friend a couple of years ago. It's basically a British movie about a drug dealer who decides enough is enough and wants to leave the game. Unfortunately life isn't that easy. Especially if your not at the top of the layer cake.
