 Layer Cake: British Gangster Flick Straight Up! (Here's a copy of my review:)
I defy anyone to completely understand the story of Layer Cake during their first viewing!
...and this is a good thing. Yeah, I got the main plot points, but the interconnections of the main characters are left pleasantly obscure as you watch in realtime. Daniel Craig was great - as far as I'm concerned, this makes a great calling card for James Bond, which he has been trumpeted for (and I'm a huge Pierce Brosnan supporter!).
Even though I loved the funky style and offbeat humour of recent Brit gangster movies like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, I really got into the serious tone of Layer Cake - it's a well told tale...
4 out of 5.

Yes, it amplifies the best part of the gangster flick.. Motive... To the point where the genre is lifted.... A whirlwind...

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels ... isnt that the movie very similar to Snatch?

Re: Layer Cake: British Gangster Flick Straight Up! Layer Cake is awesome. Another A+ from the Suave One. This really set the groundwork for Daniel Craig as James Bond. Good call Sony.
