Layer Cake, 2004

Director: Matthew Vaughn
Starring: Daniel Craig, Tom Hardy, Jamie Foreman
IMDB Link:  Layer Cake

sez says: A British thriller--with a lot of fancy camera work and interesting editing:  nice cuts from scene to scene, good pacing and such so it was interesting to watch.  BUT--and it is a big BUT, the story is convoluted and it careens around making it easy to lose track of what's what. Add to that the problem we American's have understanding some British ascents and you can find yourself befuddled about what exactly is going on. It is like going fast in a car--you see stuff out the window--but a good lot of it is blurred--but you end up at your expected destination. I like to be able to follow a story--it wasn't easy here. But the blur along the way was stylish and the acting was top notch.

mjc says:  there are more and more of these edgy British movies with black humor permeating the violence, if only I could understand the dialogue as it is said.  I think we need subtitles for these movies, that would help a lot!
