Layer Cake(2004)

Director: Matthew Vaughn( Lock Stock - Producer)

Cast: Daniel Craig, Sienna Miller, Michael Gambon.

This is a very interesting movie, when I say interesting I leave it to the audience to determine what is interesting for them.

Interesting for me is that it is a British Film and people talk, laugh and blow sarcasm. No this is nowhere near Lock Stock.. or Snatch but it is British and unabashedly so.

Daniel Craig is a 'businessman' and his business is 'heroin'. So it is obvious to get carried away thinking that it is a stoner movie like trainspotting, no it aint. This is the movie about the middlemen, a regular next door professional who has a desk job to cover up his 'business'.

The dialogs are crisp and biting. The plot is a little convulsed but is not confusing. Daniel Craig is brilliant as the 'businessman' and later as a small time mafia boss. Sienna Miller is as hot as an oven and makes up for the glamour and nothing more.

What makes this movie really good is that the movie doesn't get over until the very last second. There are so many twists and turns which makes it thoroughly enjoyable.

Watch it for the British, watch for the plot and even more so watch it for Daniel Craig.
