Layer Cake

LAYER CAKE (2004) - Mar. 28, 2005
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, a long-time producer of Guy Ritchie movies, this movie essentially plays out like a far less flashy version of one of Ritchie's films. Daniel Craig is really good in the main role, and in fact his performance is one the main reasons the film is as effective as it is. And Colm Meaney is good (as always) in a smaller part. The plot gets a little convoluted at times, which is exacerbated somewhat by the heavy British accents. But it was definitely entertaining throughout, if not quite the instant classic some are making it out to be. ***
