    Layer Cake is a black comedy that is a good deal more comedic than black. Daniel Craig, not yet beefed up to play James Bond, is great as a mid-level drug dealer who is doing quite well and doing the smart thing: investing most of his money with a reputable broker, recommended by his boss, Jimmy Price, played by Kenneth Cranham. Craig's character is planning to use his investments to retire early, something he'll be announcing soon. But first there are a few loose ends.

    Jimmy Price's boss, occupying the very top layer of the multi-tiered ranks of big-city British drug dealing, wants his wayward daughter found and returned. She's fallen victim to the same sneeze-inducing white powder that makes them all rich, and she's split from rehab with her junkie boyfriend.

    Locating runaways is not Daniel Craig's thing, so he farms the job out to a couple of young friends, guys who spend a lot of their time very persuasively affecting a cultivated British accent because young American female tourists respond so much better to their affectations than to their natural working class patois. The guys are slick, smooth, glib and funny, and more effective at tracking down missing junkies, especially dead ones, than I had expected.

    Anyhow, by now you've got the plot, insofar as there is one: Daniel Craig wants to retire early and the rest of the movie consists largely of obliquely connected events, each one just another obstacle in Craig's way, and each one more hilarious than the other. Plot or no plot, this is Daniel Craig's best film, and the supporting cast is sensational. Every time I see Sally Hawkins, no matter what sort of role she's playing, I think of her as Slasher, a foul-mouthed, histrionic, gun moll and girl friend to one of the more inept characters with whom Craig has reason to deal.

    Colm Meany is also excellent. In his funniest scene, he beats Daniel Craig to a pulp atop an open freezer filled with filleted fish, thinking Craig has betrayed him. Hard to believe that 007 could get so badly battered by a middle-aged Irishman, who subsequently apologizes for his error. But, as we've already noted, this was before Craig beefed up.

    Craig's sidekick, Morte, played by George Harris, has an uproarious beating scene of his own, when he exacts revenge on a no-count jerk who's reckless over-indulgence cost Morte ten years in prison. He almost kills the guy!

    I know. I know. How can beating be funny? But even if you don't like violence, you've just got to laugh. Imagine the three stooges given the appearance and demeanor of 21st Century British sophisticates, but who are otherwise pretty much the same as always. You'll even laugh when you see a self-assured hit man take a hit himself from a bullet fired right through the scope of his rifle and into his eye. Hardly a sound. It takes a second or two before we figure out what has happened.

    Though advertised as an action-packed thriller, Layer Cake is really a vehicle for a series of loosely related, very violent, very funny, sometimes complicated scenes of the sort that Brits do so well. (Think of Rock'n'Rolla.) This is definitely not a film that takes itself too seriously, though the acting and comedic timing are as good as they get. The ending will prompt just about everyone watching to do a double-take and exclaim with total surprise "What the ... !!!

    Layer Cake is definitely a keeper. I've watched it a dozen times and still find it very entertaining. And be alert for the tension-relieving joke about an Irishman who found another man with his wife ...

    This is a grade A gangster/drug lords crime thriller casually honed with some black humor throughout. Read a few negative reviews about the foul language and sex scenes, but those folks should've figured this wasn't a Disney movie by its plot description. Says right in the details: Nudity, violence, substance use, alcohol use, smoking, foul language, sexual content. As to those complaining about the language barrier, the thick accents should also been expected given the all-UK presence, including the director and the author who wrote the screenplay based on his novel. Down voting a movie because you're too lazy to read what it's about, a little background perhaps, should not be allowed.

    Not your "James Bond" Daniel Craig role in this movie, which consists of a down and dirty melange of assorted thuggies and druggies in a complex tale of double and triple dealings in the "layered" London/Western Europe drug empire. Craig's role as "XXXX" starts out as an interloper/middle man for the London big-wig drug kingpins, which is a left-handed way of saying he keeps his hands clean of the normal day-to-day street operations and makes big cash as a squeaky-clean go-between for the money men. But the so called Mr. Big, Jimmie Price (Kenneth Cranham), has some additional work for our pristine college boy that most assuredly leads him into unsavory territories where he must get his hands dirty (and bloody). His normal crew of Clarkie, Mortie and Terry are now to include the likes of Gene, Duke, Slasher, Sydney etc., who comprise some the street riff-raff he has to associate with to carry out the boss' directives. Add to that, another big boss emerges who may, in fact, be the "real" Main Man. The local constabulary along with the Liverpool boys also have some pivotal involvement in this nefarious mix.

    What ensues is a complicated but engrossing tale of criminal crosses and double-crosses as the Serbs, the Liverpool boys and others in the London mob and law enforcement intersect one anothers' paths in this melodramatic tour-de-force. The layers of our metaphorical cake are eventually stripped aside and lead to a most dramatic conclusion. I don't think I'll see another crime film of this mettle for quite some time. The contributions by all involved in this project were realistic, poignant and entertaining. My only negative takes on the film are the occasional scenes of gratuitous violence that I, for one, can do without. That aside, if you like well paced and intelligent crime drama, this film is for you!

    It was OK, but I do like a movie that has at least some of the primary characters coming out on top. Well, some of the gang got ahead, and at the end it looked like the "boss" was going to head off into a new and happy life, and then, wham(!) the rug was pulled out. Sheesh, I would have hoped that the guy finally became free, and instead he became (probably) dead. The acting was good, but I have to admit that the English dialog was at times tedious to follow. I probably should have switched on the printed text to better follow. After the movie, I went to Wikipedia to read the plot outline; it still seemed weird.

    Reviewed in Canada on February 8, 2017
    Absolutely love this film. This was the first movie with Daniel Craig that I saw, before he was chosen to play Agent 007 himself, Commander James Bond. This movie is so brilliant and has so many small details that I continue to notice even though I've seen it probably close to 50 times if not more. The atmosphere, the plot, the cast, everything about this movie is great. A few other reviews mentioned that this movie lacks substance...which I find to be a rather laughable comment, because that's literally all this movie is! If you like Daniel Craig, or movies about the drug/criminal underworld, then you will love this film. I have it on DVD and had to get it on Blu Ray for the HD quality...to be totally honest, I didn't notice much of a difference in quality between the DVD version and this Blu Ray version, but to be fair, I also watched this Blu Ray version on a fairly small television screen in my bedroom so if I had watched on my 50" television in the living room I'm sure it would have looked incredible. Definitely recommend this film!

    Der Protagonist ist ein namentlich nicht näher genannter Drogenhändler, spezialisiert auf den Handel mit Kokain. Der Abspann listet ihn lediglich als „XXXX“. Dieser sieht sich jedoch nicht als Gangster, sondern als Geschäftsmann. Ihm geht Clarkie zur Hand, ein Industriechemiker, der für die Qualitätskontrolle und das Strecken der Ware zuständig ist. Morty und Terry hingegen sind die erfahrenen Verbindungsmänner zur Unterwelt. Der Boss von allen diesen Männern ist Jimmy Price, der seine Geschäfte durch Gene abwickeln lässt, dem er blind vertraut. Eines Tages lädt Jimmy nach einem erfolgreichen Geschäftsabschluss seinen Drogenhändler XXXX sowie dessen rechte Hand Morty zum Essen ein.

    Jimmy erwartet sie in einem noblen Country-Club und betraut ihn mit zwei ungewöhnlichen Aufträgen. Zum einen ist Charlotte, die drogenabhängige Tochter von Jimmys altem Freund Eddie Temple, verschwunden. Eddie ist angeblich in Sorge um sie und hat Jimmy deshalb um Hilfe gebeten. XXXX soll sie nun wieder finden. Zum anderen bietet „der Duke“ eine Million Ecstasy-Pillen zum Verkauf an, die er mit seiner Gang in Amsterdam von serbischen Schwerverbrechern aus einer in einem Gewächshaus versteckten Produktionsstätte gestohlen hat, und XXXX soll den Ankauf der Drogen einfädeln.

    Zwar wundern sich die Männer, warum Jimmy mit einem solchen Aufschneider wie dem Duke Geschäfte machen will, können seinen Auftrag aber nicht ablehnen. Beim Treffen mit dem Duke versucht XXXX, den hohen Preis für die Pillen zu drücken. Da der Duke nicht einwilligt, kommt es zu keinem Geschäftsabschluss, und XXXX verlässt den Treffpunkt mit wenigen Pillen, die er zwecks Qualitätsprüfung untersuchen lassen will. Außerdem sucht er die beiden Gangster Cody und Tiptoes in deren Club auf und beauftragt sie, nach Charlotte zu suchen. In dem Club trifft er auch Sidney, den Neffen des Dukes, der sich in Begleitung seiner Freundin Tammy befindet. Tammy steckt XXXX ihre Handynummer zu; später treffen sich beide in einem Hotelzimmer zu verabredetem Sex, zu dem es jedoch nicht kommt.

    XXXX trifft sich mit Trevor und Shanks, zwei „Händlern“ aus Nordengland. Von ihnen erfährt er, dass der Duke die Serben überfallen hat und diese daraufhin Dragan, ihren besten Killer, mit der Rache betraut haben. Dieser ist nun auch hinter XXXX her, weil der Duke in Amsterdam herumerzählt hat, an wen er die Pillen verkaufen wird.

    Wütend fährt XXXX mit seinen Leuten zurück zur Werft, wo er den Duke kürzlich aufgesucht hatte. Dieser ist allerdings mit seiner Bande bereits verschwunden. Sie finden lediglich den Besitzer der Werft vor, der von Dragan mit einem glühenden Bügeleisen zu Tode gefoltert wurde. Jimmy interessiert die ganze Sache jedoch wenig und er drängt XXXX, endlich seinen „verdammten Job zu machen“.

    Cody und Tiptoes haben inzwischen Kinky, den Freund von Charlotte, tot in dessen Wohnung gefunden. Charlotte hingegen ist verschwunden. Die Mitbewohner glauben, dass Kinky ermordet wurde und sich die Überdosis Drogen nicht selber verabreicht hat. XXXX ordnet an, die Suche auszuweiten, um Charlotte zu finden.

    Morty und XXXX besprechen die Situation in einem Café, als Freddy, ein alter Bekannter von Morty, auftaucht. Weil Morty durch dessen Dummheit für zehn Jahre ins Gefängnis gehen musste, schlägt er ihn krankenhausreif. Daraufhin taucht Morty erst einmal unter.

    XXXX fragt Gene um Rat. Einerseits wegen Dragan, andererseits wegen Morty, da XXXX eventuell wegen Beihilfe verurteilt werden könnte. Gene rät ihm zu einer Waffe und gibt ihm eine aus seiner Sammlung. Am nächsten Morgen meldet sich Dragan zum ersten Mal bei XXXX am Telefon. Dragan verlangt die Herausgabe der seinem Chef gestohlenen Ware sowie die Auslieferung des Duke. XXXX nutzt die Gelegenheit, um herauszufinden, was Dragan bereits über ihn weiß. Er beendet das Gespräch, als er feststellt, dass Dragan seinen Wohnort nicht kennt.

    Gazza, Dukes Partner, meldet sich bei Gene. Er will das Geschäft innerhalb von 48 Stunden abwickeln, sonst wird er die heiße Ware verschwinden lassen.

    XXXX trifft sich mit Tammy in einem Nobelhotel. Einerseits zu einem Schäferstündchen, aber auch um von ihr Sidneys und Gazzas Aufenthaltsort in Erfahrung zu bringen. Bevor es aber zu körperlicher Nähe kommen kann, wird XXXX von Eddie Temples Männern gefangen genommen und zu ihm gebracht. Von ihm erfährt er, dass er Jimmy gar nicht um Hilfe gebeten hat, sondern Jimmy Charlotte als Geisel haben wollte. Der Grund: Jimmy ist auf einen afrikanischen Wirtschaftsminister reingefallen und hat mit 13 Millionen Pfund einen Großteil seines Privatvermögens verloren. Er wollte Eddie zwingen, ihm zu helfen, da er diesen für seine Lage verantwortlich macht. Ferner will Jimmy auch XXXX in mehrfacher Weise zum Sündenbock abstempeln und sich dessen Vermögen aneignen, da XXXX aus dem Drogengeschäft aussteigen will, wodurch ihm nicht nur einer seiner besten Drogenhändler, sondern auch ein beachtlicher Anteil seiner Einnahmen wegfallen würde.

    Eddie hat einen Geprächsmitschnitt, in dem zu hören ist, dass Jimmy plant, diesen an die Polizei zu übergeben und ihm die Drogengeschäfte anzuhängen. Eddie will XXXX nicht ausschalten, sondern gegen Jimmy einsetzen. XXXX erschießt darauf in der Nacht Jimmy in dessen Garten.

    Dragan wird nun aufdringlicher und will sich mit XXXX treffen. Dieser plant jedoch, Dragan mit Hilfe von Mr. Lucky, Trevors Scharfschützen, am nächsten Tag zur Mittagsstunde in einem öffentlichen Park zu erschießen. Trevor ist nun doch an den Pillen interessiert, ebenso wie Eddie. XXXX willigt ein, an Eddie für einen Preis von drei Millionen Pfund zu verkaufen.

    Als XXXX sich mit Gene treffen will, schlägt dieser ihn für den Mord an Jimmy zusammen. Er kann Morty und Gene aber durch die Tonaufnahme von Jimmys Verrat überzeugen. Nun wird ihnen auch klar, dass Jimmy mit dem Duke Geschäfte machen wollte, weil er durch die Fehlinvestition in Afrika pleite ist.

    Der Scharfschütze Mr. Lucky geht mit XXXX zum Treffpunkt, um Dragan auszuschalten. Dieser aber ist schneller, eliminiert mit einem Schuss Lucky und gewährt gleichzeitig XXXX am Telefon noch einen weiteren Tag – der sich wiederum fragt, wie es weitergehen soll, da der Duke immer noch verschwunden ist. Gene zeigt ihnen daraufhin seine Kühltruhe. Darin befindet sich der tote Duke. Genes Bodyguard hatte ihn umgebracht, weil die Freundin des Dukes damit drohte, ihre Geschäftspartner an die Polizei zu verraten, wenn der Deal nicht zeitnah abgeschlossen würde.

    XXXX trifft sich mit Gazza, um das Geschäft abzuwickeln. Als die Polizei auftaucht, flüchtet die Gruppe und ein Einsatzkommando der Polizei beschlagnahmt die Drogen. XXXX kann Dragan nun nur noch den Kopf des Duke bieten. Dragan hat das ganze Geschehen beobachtet und zieht mehr oder weniger zufrieden davon. Die Pillen wurden jedoch nicht von der Polizei beschlagnahmt, sondern vielmehr durch Cody und Tiptoes, die sich mit ihren Leuten als Polizeibeamte verkleidet hatten. Sie liefern nun die Pillen ab und werden von XXXX ausgezahlt. Die Pillen werden nun zu Eddie gebracht. Dieser denkt aber nicht daran zu zahlen, sondern will die Pillen als Entschädigung für den Versuch, seine Tochter zu entführen, behalten. Er gibt ihm stattdessen eine lebenslange Mitgliedschaft im Stokes-Club. Eddie erläutert XXXX, dass dieser großes Potential habe und er irgendwann an seiner Stelle sitzen werde. Scheinbar verbittert zieht XXXX mit seinen Leuten unversehrt ab. Weil er jedoch den Zug vorhergesehen hat, hatte er die Pillen bereits vorher an Trevor und Shanks verkauft, die daraufhin Eddies Männer überfallen und die Pillen an sich nehmen.

    Schließlich sitzt XXXX mit der verbliebenen Gruppe im Country-Club. Clarkie bringt einen Trinkspruch aus: „Der König ist tot, lang lebe der König.“ XXXX lehnt es jedoch ab, Jimmys Platz einzunehmen. Er verwirklicht nun seinen Plan, aus den Drogengeschäften endgültig auszusteigen. In Begleitung von Tammy verlässt er den Country-Club, wird jedoch auf den Stufen von Tammys Ex-Freund Sidney in die Brust geschossen und bricht blutüberströmt auf der Treppe zusammen. Die Szene wird ausgeblendet und sein weiteres Schicksal ist am Ende des Films ungewiss.
