MCT:September 1, 2008I really liked this one,reminded me of a heavy mix of quite a handle of other movies,Yet this was uniquely it's own.This is my first Daniel Craig film other than Casino Royale do it was nice to see him do something else even though still in the action category.Very cool,if you like the bumbling idiot lookout guy type thing and plans going all wrong,"accidental killing" stuff like that you will love this.For some reason I thought this was a Guy Ritchie film,It had him written all over it, just missing my man Jason Statham (sniff) lol!

Star-making lead role for future James Bond Daniel Craig, in this intense yet thoughtful thriller, the directorial debut of Snatch producer Matthew Vaughn. Stylish and violent British gangland tale of drugs and double-crossing

MCT:August 23, 2008I actually liked this one. The movie wasn't as violent as I thought it was. Really good movie. It was actually moderate compared to Resident Evil. Lots of action. Daniel Craig did an awesome job!

I've only just got round to watching this, it's really good. Daniel Craig plays a good part as does Micheal Gambon.

It's stylish, has a bit of humour, some good misdirections and most importantly entertaining. Overall it plays abit like an underground Bond film but with the flair of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

nicely done! I'm digging Daniel Craig, he's a superb actor. it's a drug movie, but not as raw as requiem, and more real than trainspotting. very mysterious too, you're never told the name of the main character (played by Daniel Craig). smart, funny, sophisticated. whatever, just watch this movie

A very good story, and a credible cast.
You may need to watch it a couple of times to get the true gist of what's going on, but you won't be disappointed. -

Just after watching it for the third time, maybe. Enjoy it just as much as I did the first time. Great film with a great story. Can take a bit of following to fully get it but I think it's easy enough to get into and stay engrossed. I'm not a big reader but would make me want to check out the novel. Top film.

I am a huge Gangster/ crime movie fan and This is along the same lines as Snatch. Daniel Craig is such a good actor in this and most of his other films.

XXXX: I'm not a gangster, just a businessman. And my commodity happens to be cocaine.
Daniel Craig, in the role that no doubt got him to play Bond later on, stars as a drug dealer in this British gangster film from Matthew Vaughn, producer of Lock, Stock and Snatch, and to some the real talent behind those Guy Ritchie films.
The story revolves around Craig's gangster character. He has become very rich from the way he conducts business and plans to retire, but is dragged into the kind of gangster life that he has avoided so carefully. What follows is a number of tricky turns and betrayals.
Along with Craig, who is very cool in this movie, the rest of the cast is very well suited to this film.
Most effective is how slickly made this film is. It looks wonderful throughout, with a number of clever shots and transitions. The soundtrack is very good as well.
The problem with this movie revolves around its energy, during the mid section of the film the movie does tend to drag out, without holding a speedy enough pace throughout.
Still, this is a good enough movie, with a cool role for Daniel Craig.
XXXX: [over the phone] Dragan?
Dragan: Yes.
XXXX: I've got an idea... Why don't you come 'round for breakfast? I'll squeeze some orange juice and grind some coffee and we can talk about this like adults. How's that sound?
Dragan: Sounds very hospitable.
XXXX: Do you know where I live?
Dragan: No.
XXXX: Well, fuck off then.

Damn, Daniel Craig is an attractive man. I love this film not only because it was entertaining, and not only because Daniel Craig is amazing, but also because it was the film that introduced me to the wonders of Dexter Fletcher.

MCT:June 26, 2008Has funny parts but its rubbish when all put together, no wonder guy ritchie turned down the job as a Director for this film

When I heard that Daniel Craig was going to be the new James Bond, I rented this film in order to check out his acting chops. I wasn't disappointed. Top marks.

Daniel Craig plays a coke dealer forced into the life of a criminal (like dealing coke isn't criminal enough) in this good British crime drama. Thoroughly entertaining and stylish with lots of double dealings and twists.
-
MCT:June 17, 2008
I suppose Craig earned his Bond contract with this role and Gambon isn't much worse. A witty and entertaining movie.
-

The brains behind Guy Ritchie gives us an entertaining romp, if you can call it that, through the London underground.
Fun and if you were ever wondering why Daniel Craig got Bond, it's this. -
MCT:June 7, 2008
Daniel Craig is sweet! The film is as good as it gets, action fans will not be dissapointed. The violence gets brutal at a certain point, and that's a good thing; believe me. The complexity of the plot and the smart direction add a nice flavor to it. Nice ^_^

Layer Cake, the film, not the cake consisting of multiple layers, was nothing amazing. I'm left wondering why the female character was even involved at all. She had such a tiny little role. And the ending was just so sudden. I liked the flick but didn't think it was amazing as other people think it is. Oh, and what's with the black guy's face on the DVD cover? B.
