Layer Cake

The best work in the genre. Craig's unnamed man finds himself surrounded by maniac Guy Ritchie-style gangsters, and tries to play it all business. The strength of it lies in his steady course through the madness, watching him scramble back to the surface at the points he becomes totally submerged. Lovely cinematography, great use of a limited budget and an independent streak unafraid to get a little tangential in order to further the characters.

If you can follow their british accents, it provides an entertaining action movie

A superb tale with interesting characters. This thriller has fullfills though i think it is 20 minutes too long. One of the best British gangster films ever.

Had To watch it for media studies and really enjoyed it

Brilliant crime/drugs movie.

I might have liked this better if I hadn't stopped halfway and waited two months to finish it (my girlfriend didn't want to see the rest). Extremely stylish, well made movie with a great character and intricate plot well told. Almost too well told - the transitions and storytelling are so stylish they at times become distractions. Not as good as the director's next (the amazing "Kick Ass"), but worth a watch.

great action and plot line

Slightly above average for a modern action film, and just interesting enough to finish watching. Michael Gambon was the highlight.

A bit too convoluted for my dumb self at times, but interesting themes

Pretty fun crime movie.

A gripping drug drama that will have you rooting for Daniel Craig's character the whole way through. A GREAT primer to Daniel Craig before you see Casino Royale (with Craig as Bond).

Average action shmaction.

Worth it.

Is there a reason why everyone has to be so racist?

One of the greatest if not THE greatest British crime flicks ever.

The producer of such of gems like "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock..." grabbed a directors chair and tried to fly on the wings of british gangster movies success. For start everything looks good but not towards the end. Great acting though.

a little off on the ending if you ask me... but a great thrill ride all the way threw

It is fair to say that this movie was trying to hit some of the same marks as Lox, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. It does have moments of brilliance, but it doesn't quite live up to its potential. Worth watching, but not nearly as good as I'd hoped.
