Review of Layer Cake

Great crime movie from the UK

Daniel Craig (the new James Bond actor) stars in this film has a great story line, lots of memorable scenes and characters, awesome quotes, and a certain 'coolness' factor to it that usually only Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino flicks can achieve.

The plot starts off relatively simple, with 1 million ecstasy pills being stolen by Duke from Amsterdam and attempted to be dumped into XXXX's territory (Daniel is unnamed in the film, hence the XXXX). Sensing something is not right, XXXX tries to give this deal a pass, but its already too late as the boss from Amsterdam has already sent out a hitman on Duke and everyone associated with him. Then throw in 2 or 3 subplots to the mix, and several double-crosses and triple-crosses, and you have yourself one great movie.

This movie needs more exposure here in North America. It could get quite a following, similar to how Tarantino and Ritchie films get, if only people knew about it.

10/10
