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..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

H\u00e4r f\u00e5r man f\u00f6r att man f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntar sig f\u00f6r mcyket av en film. Trodde verkligen detta skulle vara en toppen film. Javvist, den \u00e4r inte d\u00e5lig. Men den tillf\u00f6r inget speciellt heller. Den har en rolig och sp\u00e4nnande manu, precis som en s\u00e5danh\u00e4r film ska ha. Men n\u00e5gonstans mellan manus och film tappar den n\u00e5got. Vet inte om det beror p\u00e5 regiss\u00f6ren, eller vad det \u00e4r.<\/p>\n
