  • now come on why does there always have to be at least one person who dislikes things

  • The sequels out thur 22nd cant wair roll on the movie. . . .Bout time JJ. . . .

  • Your favorite movie?!  That movie was a hunk of shit!!!

  • I like the editing its more good for the famoys bond :D

  • What's his f****** name?

  • OMG why is the woman driving!!! some one could get killed!

  • OMG why is the woman driving!!!

  • This is basically the soft ending for the American audience. The original makes a lot more sense. Very well made film.

  • This ending is crap

  • In the original ending XXXX is still alive all be it in a bad way but he could have survived I guess you just have to make your own mind up!

  • I think the thing that is so special about the original ending is that it is a mix of comedy and tragedy, in a literary sense. A comedy being where everything is resolved at the conclusion, and a tragedy being unresolved. Brilliant writing,

  • Reminds me of the Bladerunner alternate ending.

  • Holy shit. I'm not a sensitive dude, but seeing them walking down the stairs still almost brought tears to my eyes. I'm American and this is easily in my top three favorite movies of all time. Nothing even comes close to touching L4yer CakE.

  • @squeege421 Ditto, I almost cried reading your comment.

  • the British ending was better

  • You're damn right!

  • Haha... This is the Hollywood ending that they decided to cut! Good idea!

  • what was his f***ing name ???

  • ****

  • daniel craig is fit so this ending is better lol xxx

  • Or Mr XXXX

  • The original ending makes more sense:

    XXXX (the nameless main character) was told about the 'layer cake' of life. Born, take shit, move up, take less shit, etc. There will ALWAYS be a successor - to repeat the cycle.

    XXXX finally made it to the top of the 'layer cake' because he planned it from the beginning. He only made one mistake: he stole someone's girlfriend. That comes back to bite him, and the cycle repeats.

    Great film.

  • But the guy who shot XXXX was a crackhead moron, who could never take Jimmy's/XXXX's place.

  • @Gizmogibbongimp

    I said there would always be A successor. I didn't mean his killer would be the successor. Probably Morty or Gene.

    But in the end his lifestyle was always going to be the death of him, like Jimmy's crooked deals led to XXXX killing him.

  • You want the caracter to live. but the original ending is better

  • the orginal ending was awsome it shows its just life. do all the shit for nothing :P

  • original ending is much better, it shows the irony of him thinking that the life of a drug dealer is dangerous, but in the end he is killed in retirement.

  • that was not the point :))

  • they planning a sequel but craig said he will only come back when Matthew Vaughn is the Director again

  • makes way much more sence thatn the one on the film

  • nah orignal ending is better wayy better.

  • wayyy better :))

  • Much better ending, got to figure he died in the original ending and I hatted that so, I much prefer this ending.

  • great, buen final por que el otro es muy triste, the other end is sad, congratulations .

  • That fits in with the rest of the movie. At least much more than the real ending.

  • He doesen't die in the original ending, so you can still be left wondering what he's going to do next.

  • I prefer this ending. Leaves an air of mystery to what XXXX is going to do next, rather than seeing him getting brought down by Sidney. I am a sucker for happy-ish endings I guess

  • I love this ending!. I think that you did a great job mixing the takes of both of the alternative endings and the song was perfectly chosen. Obviously, I think that this ending is far better than the Negative Ending.

    Thank You So Much!!!

  • Very good movie, better than Blow in my oppinion.. the normal ending is better tbh

  • No dont like it...

    I like the final twist that shows Not matter what level on the Layer Cake you are, your not immune from been picked off

  • i liked this one better then the one where he gets shot i dont get why that guy shot him its easier for me to end the movie bc idk the guy shot him

  • lol, dude he stole the girl(sienna, dont member the character name), sydney obviously found out shed been fucking him behind his back anyway (theres that part where he answers her phone and is like "WHO IS THIS, JUST FUCK OFF")

  • This ending really isn't as good as the ither ending In my opionion

  • i second that statement.

  • thirded

  • wonderfull movie

  • BEEEST MOVIE AND ACTOR DANIEL CRAIG !!

  • Great!! thanks!! mate

  • the song is by a group called "duran duran" and the song is called come undone. great tune.

  • do anywone now what for song is at they end??

    please tell me how sing it. Oh yes it IS A GREAT END Because the other is made with the pc.

  • i was shocked at the other end of layer cake when x gets shot. i was made up to stumble across this end. come on danny do a sequel if they write one.

  • Well maybe he didn't die.

    Who knows that?

  • how coud there be a fukin sequel he died!!

  • how do u no 4 a fact that he died???!!!!

  • in the books he survives the gunshot and a aparent sequel is on the way

  • daniel said he'll only do a sequel if matthew vaughn directs again

  • original ending was better, there can never be a sequal to layer cake, its a one off masterpiece

  • That's what people said about the godfather.

  • Best movie

  • the original ending is 100 times better then this one, but can't really put down anything to do with the movie. GREAT PIECE OF WORK!

  • I hope,theres gonna be a sequel. Something like-He's not dead. he wakes up in hospital,after being shot,has nothing,no money no girl and decides to get revenge and BANG there goes a blockbuster he gets revenge,gets girl back and happy end,damn I would love that,and I know,that most people would too.

  • the other ending is a lot better. as the narration ends and it becomes "present time" he gets shot by that tool after making it through so much. you dont get to see good unexpected endings like that much in hollywood movies.

  • the other ending is soo much better

  • dope movie....the g manifesto...the bible for international playboys...thegmanifesto. com

  • excellent film, i prefer the theatrical ending though, when he gets shot on the steps

  • Yeah not bad, I like the DuranDuran tune. It's not quite up there with ending no.1

  • If you watch the end of layer cake with director commentary on, vaughan says that he isn't dead

  • What is the song.. where he is walking out of the back room.. the solo.. sounds a little like lisa gerrard?

  • It is Lisa Gerrard....it's on the soundtrack. It even includes Eddie Temple's "Facts of Life" speech.

  • I like how you inluded "Come Undone", it fits really well. Still, I like the original ending better.

  • I recommend reading the book, keep in mind J. J. Connolly is also writing a follow up novel, so you never know

  • i liked more the other ending, this one was good but not that much jaja

  • being that vaughn is a guy ritchie cronie you have to expect some kind of a twist ending. layer is a dramatic snatch or lock stock but it is put together the same way....this ending here is not a vaughn/ritchie ending

  • I like the way the moive ended. He broke rule number 1 "Don't mess with another man's girl."

  • The original ending was better because it came out of nowhere but it made sense. He was a gangster, despite what he said, so he had to live with the threat of being killed or arrested every day of his life.

  • No that was the result of rule number 1 Don't mess with another man's girl. He die all his drug dealing well, tied up all his loose ends. But Him being shot at the end reflects him breaking the first rule.

  • the endings alright but the oringanal better cause of its origanallity

  • He couldnt have survived in the original ending; hence the bullet most probably entered his lungs and losing that amount of blood... He'll suffer pretty much before he dies.

  • I watched the film for the 1st time last night. Brilliant film, this ending is better :-)

  • Hehe the original ending was good but it was heartbreaking(but how heartbreaking is it to see a drug-lord die? :D )... This one is much more Hollywood-ish.

  • he wasnt a drug lord fool, he was a business man who happened to deal in drugs

  • Great job.

    Maybe he didn't really die. Who knows :p

  • which song is this, i love that song anyone know

  • Duran Duran Come Undone

  • i love both endings

  • I preferred the original, as it made more sense. I wasn't really shocked, like most people seem to be. I mean really, a guy in his position just getting out that easily? I found the irony to be great, I mean, really, he manages to fool all these big time criminals, and seems so intelligent, yet he fails to take into consideration his final adversary: The boyfriend of the girl he hooked up with.

  • Nah, first one was far better.

  • thats so clever tho!

  • That country club that Craig walks out of is the same one which Bond played golf at in Goldfinger. Ironic... He hadn't even been considered for the role of 007 when they shot that.

  • Daniel Craig Rocks !!

    Original ending is the best ... soemthing un common..

    and by the way soundtrack is too good...

    can any1 tell where to download it from ???

  • No! No! No!

  • I also think, that the original ending is a way more better than this one. I was really shocked in the moment XXXX got shot by this little punk Sidney. The original ending fits better to the character that the movie provides.

    Btw, great Soundtrack!!!

  • I agree with Rik. I like the original ending far better. It was more shocking for the audience, to experience the main character go through this intricate web and then be taken down by something as simple as a jealous boyfriend. That's life. And that's a proper ending.

  • I agree that's the reason I like the original ending to. I remember i was sititng there going, 'oh yeah we don't know...' bang, 'shit what the fuck the ex-boyfriend shot him' The orginal ending, if you enjoyed the film, really has a lasting impression on you then if he'd just walked away

    Although he doesn't actually die on camera so...

  • nahi disagree i think the orignal ending was just tacked on the end to make yet anohter twist to this already confusing movie. I wasnt surpised at all when he got shot at the end i was half expecting it

  • I disagree. It's far too cliched in my opinion. The proper ending comes as a bit of a shock and I feel makes it stronger because of it. Besides, they only shot this to please Columbia Pictures as they didn't like the idea of the main character being killed off. Still, nice to see it and everyone is entitled to their own opinion
