Movie Review: Layer Cake

by tandurq on Nov.18, 2006, under Movie Reviews

Layer Cake is about a successful cocaine dealer who has earned a respected place among England’s Mafia elite and plans an early retirement from the business. However, his big boss Jimmy hands down a tough assignment: find the missing daughter of Jimmy’s old pal Edward, a powerful construction business player and gossip papers socialite. Complicating matters are two million pounds’ worth of ecstasy, a brutal neo-Nazi sect and a whole series of double crossings. The title “Layer Cake” refers to the layers or levels the dealer has to go through as he painstakingly plots his own escape. What is revealed is a modern underworld where the rules have changed. Not knowing who he can trust, he has to use all his ’savvy’, ‘telling’ and skills which make him one of the best, to escape his own. Pretty good movie with real plot twists. Its very similar to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. 3 1/2 stars and its got the new James Bond (Daniel Craig)
