*XXXX: [over the phone] Dragan?

Dragan: Yes.

XXXX: I've got an idea... Why don't you come 'round for breakfast? I'll squeeze some orange juice and grind some coffee and we can talk about this like adults. How's that sound?

Dragan: Sounds very hospitable.

XXXX: Do you know where I live?

Dragan: No.

XXXX: Well, fuck off then.

Layer Cake
Starring Daniel Craig, Tom Hardy, Jamie Foreman
Written by J.J. Connolly and Directed by Matthew Vaughn


THE CASE: A slick and very successful British cocaine dealer is forced to hold off his plans for an early retirement after his boss gives him two more assignments.


THE GOOD: Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig. The only thing good about this film is Daniel Craig. His performance is full of confidence and bravado. Other than a few artistically violent scenes, there isn’t anything really special in this film other than Daniel Craig.


THE BAD: This film is a mess. The pacing is horrible and the storytelling is just plain sloppy. It tries to be a Guy Ritchie film (Matthew Vaughn produced Ritchie’s films), it tries to be a Tarantino film (Ritchie copied Tarantino), and it tries to be raw and gritty (it fails miserably).


THE LAW: Only watch this film for Daniel Craig. Ignore everything else and you should have a good time. Oh, wait, Sienna Miller in teeny weeny black lingerie is nice to look at as well.
