Have your cake and eat it
Matthew Vaughn who produced the Guy Ritchie gangster films steps in for his directorial debut with Layer Cake.

The film opens with a stylised sequence that grabs you buy the lapels as Daniel Craig goes through a few house rules on being player in the drugs trade.

This is the film that is said to have convinced the Bond producers that Craig was the man to get 007 status.

Craig plays a suave cocaine dealer who is more a businessman than a gangster and with a sideline in a legitimate business. With enough money laundered he is on the verge of calling it quits but like the Pacino character in Carlito’s Way, things are never that simple when you want to walk away.

When crime boss Jimmy Price wants him to do a few favours things rapidly spiral out of control. He is implicated with rival gangsters, a Serb hitman and various double crosses.

Craig holds your attention from the very beginning, the plot rattles along at an entertaining pace. It maybe is one of the better British gangster films in the last 20 years.Read More
