A mechanic in the British drug trade finds himself caught in the middle of some dangerous circumstances in this crime thriller. XXXX (Daniel Craig) is a nameless go-between in the British mob who buys drugs from underground wholesalers and them sells them to street dealers, keeping the system flowing and making a tidy profit in the process. XXXX is looking forward to getting out of the game, and has displayed both smarts and caution in how he's handled his business, but before his overseer Jimmy Price (Kenneth Cranham) will let him go, he has a couple of favors that need to be done. First, Eddie Temple (Michael Gambon) is a mob boss whose daughter has gotten hooked on hard drugs and run away from home; Jimmy needs XXXX to find them girl and bring her to him before Eddie's men can get hold of her. Second, Dragan (Dragan Micanovic) is a Ecstasy wholesaler who has had a large shipment stolen by Duke (Jamie Foreman); Jimmy wants XXXX to get the Ecstasy back to Dragan, but Duke isn't eager to sell and Dragan is becoming impatient. Between these two matters, XXXX isn't so sure he'll get out of the business alive, especially after he finds himself falling for Duke's nephew's girlfriend, Tammy (Sienna Miller). Layer Cake marked the directorial debut for Matthew Vaughn, best known as a producer for Guy Ritchie's lad-centric crime movies. The Blu-Ray DVD release includes a bucket of extras, including deleted scenes, multiple alternate endings, a behind-the-scenes featurette, plus a Q&A with the director and actor Daniel Craig, along with a director and writer's commentary.

I had no idea this film could look so good. This blu ray is one of the most impressive transfers, mainly due to the look of all previous DVD transfers. It was always so grainy and dull. Now for the first time the colors of the hotel and the blood are vibrant. I am so impressed by this transfer of Stanley Kubrick's shocking masterpiece of Stephen King's The Shining.
What's great about it: What a beautiful transfer, the colors are flawless
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Remarkable Film; A Decent Transfer
on September 1, 2008

Stanley Kubrick is often regarded as the greatest of all filmmakers for his consistent twist of genre. This film is breathtaking in more ways than one. It can be very offensive at times, but in those times it is also very theatrical. I would recommend this to anyone who hasn't seen it and to all who have and want a better transfer of it.
What's great about it: Great film, extra features, better than standard DVD
What's not so great: For a fan none.
I would recommend this to a friend!
