Hope for a lot of icing as this cake dosen't taste so good - By: Mr. W. Searle, 29 Jun 2008 
The producers of Layer Cake tried very hard to shape this standard gangster fare into something fresh, cool & original. They failed.
Matthew Vaughn who produced Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels & Snatch lazily decided to produce yet another gangster flick, without Guy Ritchie, as a vehicle to move him into the mainstream as a director.
Having a proven track record in the genre, it was a safe bet the film would find an audience, however I assume he couldn't produce a film with any similarity to Lock, Stock & decided to produce this rubbish instead.
I also couldn't stomach the publicity overload for this film, which was plain perplexing. Nobody seemed to understood what a hot iron scorching the bonnet of a Range Rover has to do with anything let alone the film. Is the Range Rover parked in the street? Has someone ran an extension lead to plug in the iron to burn the paint work? It makes no sense. If you want payback who goes to the extent of running extension leads & using domestic appliances?
Sienna Miller also stars in Layer Cake but she is so generic looking I didn't even realise it was her until I spotted her name in the credits. To top it alll Daniel Craig's wooden lifeless performance is yet another reason to avoid this film. Is it just me or has the guy got a massive bulbess nose.
I'm not a hater of Matthew Vaugn's films as when I was dragged to see Stardust I secretly enjoyed it. Don't tell anyone.
snore - By: martin thomas, 07 Jun 2008 very very boring british gangster movie that is no good & differant to countless other british gangster movies
Great show, great cast - By: Aaron Mulholland, 28 May 2008 
One of Craig's better films & good to see Colm Meaney as a bad guy. Shows a side of the country that some people don't realise exists.
Its alright.. - By: Mr. C. J. Kirby, 24 Feb 2008 
Was looking forward to this film as i adore this genre, but i found myself slightly dissapointed, there wasnt reallly that much special about it, had some very poor acting (although daniel craig is pretty damn good) An obvious ending, that i guessed halfway through. It just seemed a little off key & didnt seem to grasp any of the gangster soncept (most of the actors just aint drug running or gangster material)
But the story line isnt too bad & i reckon it would be good if different actors were cast.
A Fantastic Film - By: R. Benson, 05 Jan 2008 I was unsure about watching this film as the cover doesn't look appealing, however once it got started I was hooked from start to finish. The twist & turns in this story line continue until the very end. It was gripping. I would strongly recommend it to anyone.
