Layer Cake

When it comes to drama the British seem to know how to do it and do it with style, where even the killings that need to happen seem to be done with grace and finesse. Also the star of this very well thought out drama is Daniel Craig, and after watching it you can see some of the reasons why they went with him as the new James Bond. Matthew Vaughn is the director of this elaborate drama and it will be very interesting too see what other films are out on the market by this very talented man.A British drug dealer is ready to get out of the illegal life that he has been a part of, but before that can happen he must complete one final deal that will either leave him a very rich man or a very dead one. The camera angles that are used helps with the mystery aspect of the film, at times you just don't know who kills who until Craig's character finds out. Some of the action sequences are just so straight forward that it's a surprise that they are just so enjoyable and it's a relief that you can have a pleasing experience without all the special effects that most of us expect now a days.
The style of the film just enhances the drama and just when you think the movie is over; they give one last kick in the ass. I had heard of this film before but didn't get a chance to see it until a friend suggested that I see it since I loved Casino Royale so much. The meaning of the title is quite evident by the fact that there's so many layer to the story and it a very delicious tale. If you've never heard of this film, or have heard of it not had a chance to see it yet, I'd say it's definitely worth the time to see.
