About this product

Product Information

As deeply cool and urbane as its unnamed hero, LAYER CAKE follows the precise, articulate XXXX (Daniel Craig) as he maneuvers through what he intends to be his last business deal in modern-day London. His business? Drugs. On the cusp of turning 30, XXXX has amassed a personal fortune, deftly avoiding the violence and ugliness so many others in his trade fall prey to by following a strict personal code defined by discretion and clean detachment from the products he sells. Just as XXXX is poised to cash in and get out, Jimmy Price (Kenneth Cranham), the top layer of this particular underworld cake, hands down two tasks: find Eddie Temple's (Michael Gambon) drug-addicted daughter, and unload a mass of ecstasy stolen in Amsterdam by the sloppy, loud Duke (Jamie Foreman), who is exactly the type of wannabe gangster that XXXX has spent his career avoiding. Further complicating matters is Tammy (Sienna Miller), a sexy young blond who XXXX meets in a club and can't get off his mind.First-time director Michael Vaughn (producer on SNATCH and LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS) brings a practiced eye to the film, creating a slick, highly entertaining visual style which perfectly complements the twisting storyline. The London drug world comes to vibrant life in screenwriter J.J. Connolly's adaptation of his first novel, which retains its keen ear for slang and its eye for detail, giving LAYER CAKE a thrilling ring of authenticity. In the role of XXXX, Daniel Craig has a commanding presence, portraying a man who is so good at his job that he may never be permitted to leave it, regardless of how smart he is or how well he's planned. Like the best in the crime-thriller genre, LAYER CAKE is unpredictable, unsettling, and unforgettable.

No Headaches with this Asprin
One of the many great lines in Layer Cake comes where a character, Duke [played by Jamie Foreman], yells at Daniel Craig's character who is an unnamed "XXXX" about the value of a drug tablet "E's." Fed up with the bargaining with XXXX, Duke says, " Oh, you give a fuckin' aspirin a headache, pal!" Layer Cake will take your headache away. The sophisticated humor, twists, turns and clever screenplay make it just like the recommendation on the DVD cover says: "Hilarious and genuinely cool." This was the last movie Craig did before his selection as the Bond character. It's not a Bond film, it's better, but one can see how and why he was selected.

A very active Crime Thriller.
Yes, it a very thrilling crime film. Nice to experience Daniel Craig early in his career, and before James Bond.

Disappointed
This is a pure crime drama, which is rather disturbing and not particularly entertaining. The way the story ends is nothing but a disappointment.
