Layer Cake (L4yer Cake) found its way to my viewing list after Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and I was.... who in the devil is that blond guy. As it turns out it is Daniel Craig. I put the movie on my netflix list and one movie after another kept getting put on the top of my list, so I really did not see this one till recently.

What did I think about the movie? Damn! (Can I say that on the internet?) what a script, what set of characters; so unique, so violent and so damn (so, I swore again!) criminal. The movie reminded me of Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels, and also Snatch. While both these are hilarious, Layer Cake I found to be that much darker and more serious.

Daniel Craig's (XXXX, nameless man in the movie) narrative is what opens the movie, and keeps you grounded, and ends the movie. I loved the movie, because, right from the first shot, the movie takes you from one the ordinary life to the criminal and switches back and forth. The movie holds your attention and you don't even want to blink an eye, lest you miss something important, like a look in the eye or a wave of the hand or something. The script at times is hilarious and so well delivered by all in the movie. At times I wasn't sure who I was rooting for. And! The ending..... awesome! I could not have thunk of another way to end the movie.

Well.... what are you waiting for.... go see this one and invite me if you don't want to see it alone. :)
