Product Information
As deeply cool and urbane as its unnamed hero, LAYER CAKE follows the precise, articulate XXXX (Daniel Craig) as he maneuvers through what he intends to be his last business deal in modern-day London. His business? Drugs. On the cusp of turning 30, XXXX has amassed a personal fortune, deftly avoiding the violence and ugliness so many others in his trade fall prey to by following a strict personal code defined by discretion and clean detachment from the products he sells. Just as XXXX is poised to cash in and get out, Jimmy Price (Kenneth Cranham), the top layer of this particular underworld cake, hands down two tasks: find Eddie Temple's (Michael Gambon) drug-addicted daughter, and unload a mass of ecstasy stolen in Amsterdam by the sloppy, loud Duke (Jamie Foreman), who is exactly the type of wannabe gangster that XXXX has spent his career avoiding. Further complicating matters is Tammy (Sienna Miller), a sexy young blond who XXXX meets in a club and can't get off his mind.First-time director Michael Vaughn (producer on SNATCH and LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS) brings a practiced eye to the film, creating a slick, highly entertaining visual style which perfectly complements the twisting storyline. The London drug world comes to vibrant life in screenwriter J.J. Connolly's adaptation of his first novel, which retains its keen ear for slang and its eye for detail, giving LAYER CAKE a thrilling ring of authenticity. In the role of XXXX, Daniel Craig has a commanding presence, portraying a man who is so good at his job that he may never be permitted to leave it, regardless of how smart he is or how well he's planned. Like the best in the crime-thriller genre, LAYER CAKE is unpredictable, unsettling, and unforgettable.
Layer Cake is truly worth buying - Very Unpredictable !
I found this movie to be very unknown. The character crew reminds me alot of Guy Ritchies other films such as Locks, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels & Mean Machine ( Great Soccer Film ! ) . The storyline is great. Drugs, Money, Violence, Women, & a deal gone very very bad.......Welcome to the Layer Cake !
The thick accents are always entertaining & the soundtrack was very well played.
Pick this film up & add it to your collection.

This is a great movie with a stellar screenplay and a riveting performance by Daniel Craig. In the genre of "heist" movies it is definitely at the top of the heap. The plot twists and turns, weaving many characters in and out. The resolution of the various plot threads is clever, and the final scene stunning.
Loved Daniel Craig in the James Bond movies. Read somewhere he was picked to play James Bond because of his part in this movie. can't say it compares to James Bond but its definately worth watching. Daniel Craig is an exceptional actor, especially when it comes to action. This movie shows a different side of his acting abilities.
This movie was excellent, It's Daniel Craig at his best. This movie is very suspenseful, excellent filming, and keeps you guessing whats going to happen till the end. This movie is now one of my all time favorites. I bought this movie becuase I heard so many good things about from many different people, and they were right.
Great movie, never gets boring, one of the ealier Daniel Craig moives. I think this is a must see for people who enjoy action movies and or movies like Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
