Layer Cake (2004)
One of my comfort watches, I rewatch it once or two times a year, it’s simply amazingly acted, with a wonderful studded cast, with so many faces at the beginning of their careers.
A pitch perfect Daniel Craig, so well directed with amazing cuts from one scene to the next.
Matthew Vaughn made such a slick film, it’s in the Guy Ritchie paradigma, but at the same time it’s much more elegant, fun but not the funny, the scenes are less frenetic but still electric.
The score is really good, and yes the plot the first time around and the still the next few times is very convoluted, and it’s crazy how many players are still present in the third act.
But really an amazingly made film.
