I never knew Vaughn did this movie. Where the fuck was I when it came out? Thank goodness for the torrent site. I'm gonna watch this tonight I think.
Quote:
Based upon JJ Connelly's London crime novel, "LAYER CAKE" is about a successful cocaine dealer (DANIEL CRAIG) who has earned a respected place among England's Mafia elite and plans an early retirement from the business. However, big boss Jimmy Price hands down a tough assignment: find Charlotte Ryder, the missing rich princess daughter of Jimmy's old pal Edward, a powerful construction business player and gossip papers socialite. Complicating matters are two million pounds' worth of Grade A ecstasy, a brutal neo-Nazi sect and a whole series of double crossings. The title "LAYER CAKE" refers to the layers or levels the dealer has to go through as he painstakingly plots his own escape. What is revealed is a modern underworld where the rules have changed. There are no 'codes', or 'families' and respect lasts as long as a line. Not knowing who he can trust, he has to use all his 'savvy', 'telling' and skills which make him one of the best, to escape his own. The ultimate last job, a love interest called Tammy and an international drugs ring, threaten to draw him back into the 'cake mix'. But, time is running out and the penalty will endure a lifetime..

For those of you that don't know, Vaughn did "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", and "Snatch".

Yeah. It was wEIrd. I never heard of this movie either, but I saw it on my Movies on Demand channel a few months ago. GREAT flick. I really really enjoyed it. Alot. Great Ending.
He's the new James Bond, BTW. Not sure how I feel about that yet.
