Before Daniel Craig became the first blond Bond, he starred as a slick British gangster in Matthew Vaughn's gangster-thriller Layer Cake. Hardly anyone knows about this gem, as it is Britain's own version of popular American flicks like GoodFellas or Blow. The cast is full of the UK's biggest stars, such as Sienna Miller and Michael Gambon (of Albus Dumbledore fame). The title refers to the human social strata, especially in the British crime underworld, as well as the numerous plot layers in the film. It's high-paced and action packed, full of plot turns and twists with the lovely British banter that we Americans think is so witty. See this movie if you love action, violence, intelligence, and British bad-asses. Who doesn't love these things?
Rating: TIGHT JOINT
