Customer Reviews of Layer Cake (Widescreen Special Edition)
very good So what did I like about Layer Cake? Well, Daniel Craig is... well look at him. The man is so hot he should be leaving a smoke trail every time he's on screen. Next, I loved how this movie does not glamorize the drug trade. Yeah, there's a fortune to be made but you pay for it and if you aren't smart you die and usually in a really painful, nasty way. <

>Craig's character, Mr.X is cool, oh so smart and sick of the life he's living. He wants out and only has to do his boss a "favor" in order to be able to retire. It seems so simple, so clear cut but Mr. X discovers that is not the case. Two scenes stayed with me long after I watched the movie. First, when X has to kill a man and his reaction to that. Watching Craig try to get some sleep, try to drug and drink his memory away was fascinating. The second memory scorcher is the very last scene which I won't describe. I'll only note that it's amazing how much emotion Craig can register with just his eyes. <

There Was Cake?
This movie is not about cake. I was waiting for the nice table and cake party, but all in the movie these men do is walk around serious and look at each other. They smoke and talk funny, and sometimes sit at a table and drink drinks. They need ballons and hats!!! The movie made me feel like small because I was always looking from under a table or behind a napkin on the floor and even through the cigigrates smokes (maybe that's why they all die in the end; remember, smoking hurts you!!) Even when they sit in nice club with girls there was no cake. I think this movie is tricky that way, because you think cake, party, and nice talkings, you have no talkings, just sad music and people who are mad and hurt. Maybe the movie is a lesson on why cake is important. Eat cake!!!! (Three more stars if even one slice, but only two today!!!)
This cake falls flat
"Layer Cake" begins with a long, long voiceover - always a red flag for a movie of any genre. When the movie begins by telling you about itself, rather than showing exposition through dialogue and action, you're in for trouble. And the intro is classic cliche: an honorable criminal who wants to retire gets into one last gig that goes horribly wrong.

>But even cliches can be the basis for a good movie if done right. Sadly, they are not done right here. In "Layer Cake," the actors cannot be faulted; they do a great job with the material. The cinematography is interesting and very good. But the direction sucks the energy and life out of the material, and the material is a muddled, overcomplicated script that leaves you scratching your head about critical plot points.

>"Layer Cake" is a pale imitation of better US and UK movies, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" being the better example of the genre that springs immediately to mind. This movie is watchable, but just barely. This is a desperation call at 11 pm on Friday night at the video store. At least it's better than whatever TV has to offer in that time slot.
