Layer Cake

Layer Cake

See it!  Awesome!  The cover posted here is a sham as to the character played by Craig, unless this was a DVD box cover test for his upcoming roles as James Bond.  This is so like Guy Ritchie films with respect to its UK gangster stuff, but the class of gangster (for the most part) is like comparing the Godfather series to the Soporano series. 

Daniel Craig has a plan to make his cash as a drug dealer and then get out.  As usual, there is one favor that he is asked/forced to do for one of the top dogs in the business.  Twists, turns, and more twists come in to play and, wow, it was good.  The film is tied together well and through all the twists and double crosses, there are no loose ends when it ends.  Awesome.

The writing was good, the script was good, the directing was good and the acting was awesome.  In the acting, you get a few surprises.  If you have seen the Band of Brothers series, Dexter Fletcher was a surprise.  I swear I thought he was a Yank.  Sienna Miller was amazing.  At first I thought she was Jessica Simpson until she started acting.  Based on her skills as an actress, no, she was definitely not Jessica Simpson.  In fact, if Jessica Simpson needs an acting double for her roles, she should call Sienna.
