Heading For A Fall
A London drug dealer who regards himself as a businessman rather than a criminal, operates by a set of rules that he believes will enable him to retire shortly with the huge amount of money that he’s accumulated. With a letting agency as his front and an accountant who systematically launders his money, he’s convinced that he knows exactly what he’s doing and says that “life’s so good, I can taste it in my spit”. In reality, however, because he’s oblivious to the true levels of treachery that routinely permeate every layer of the criminal hierarchy within which he works; he’s heading for a fall.The dealer (Daniel Craig) whose name is never mentioned in the movie and is listed in the credits as XXXX unwittingly reaches a pivotal moment in his career when his boss Jimmy Price (Kenneth Cranham), calls him to a luncheon meeting and gives him two jobs to carry out. One is to find the missing drug-addicted daughter of his long-time associate, Eddie Temple (Michael Gambon) and the other is to acquire and sell the one million ecstasy pills that are currently in the hands of a low-level gangster called “The Duke” (Jamie Foreman). It’s from this point onwards that everything starts to unravel for XXXX as he discovers that the ecstasy pills had been stolen from a gang of Serbians who’ve sent a ruthless hit-man called Dragan (Dragan Micanovic) to recover their property and also to eliminate anyone who’s involved. This puts XXXX in immediate danger because the Serbians had been given the impression by The Duke that he had been working for XXXX.
After he’s surprisingly kidnapped by Eddie Temple’s men, XXXX learns that, as well as having had an ulterior motive for wanting Eddie’s daughter to be found, Jimmy was also involved in a major act of betrayal against his own criminal fraternity and a plan to relieve XXXX of all of the money he’d made as a drug dealer. Further revelations, betrayals and an act of revenge then follow before the full extent of XXXX’s downfall suddenly becomes apparent.
“Layer Cake” is a complicated, character-heavy crime drama that’s full of double-crosses, clever twists and dry humour. It’s based on the novel of the same name by J.J. Connolly and in adapting it for the big screen, he’s retained so many of the story’s minor characters and subplots that the end-result is more involved than it needs to be and as a result, fails to consistently convey to its audience what is important and what isn’t. First-time director Matthew Vaughn does a good job of injecting clarity, vitality and stylishness into the whole undertaking and its large cast of talented actors also do well with Daniel Craig, Michael Gambon and Kenneth Cranham providing the most powerful and memorable performances. Overall, the movie is gritty, violent and lacks any likable characters but its soundtrack is well above average with especially good use being made of tracks by The Cult, The Rolling Stones and Duran Duran.
