 You're born you take shit Go it out on the world. You take more shit You climb up a little higher you take less shit Until one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even smells like Welcome to the layer cake son That's a hot mug guys. Hey guys, this is my review for layer cake This is by far one of the best movies that Daniel Craig ever did and in my opinion It's Matthew Vaughn's best movie that he's ever directed Matthew Vaughn You'll know from films like Kingsman Kingsman to kick ass X-Men first class He also had a hand in doing some producing for the X-Men series Which kind of led it into Poopyville But Matthew Vaughn got his start with producing some of Guy Ritchie's movies and some would say that layer cake is a Guy Ritchie movie but on a little bit of a different level. I can almost agree to that however, I feel that layer cake has this uniqueness to it in terms of a captivating criminal drama with some fantastic soundtrack selections as well as some pretty ingenious camera techniques and Visual storytelling the film follows Daniel Craig's character who is a cocaine dealer and the opening monologue of this movie sets Everything up perfectly. He walks in a store that looks like a department store But it's got cocaine method men it means and they're all in FC UK containers Remember when that was a huge brand at least out here I haven't seen one of those shirts are their stores in forever He talks about how eventually they will realize that there isn't millions But billions to be gained by this and that is essentially his character is that he's just kind of ahead of the curve He has rules He has morals, but he does take advantage of what he can and he deals in a business that while technically is illegal He does it in the best way he can the film has a fantastic set of characters to the point where there are some side characters that you Would almost say are Richie characters some of the actors in this movie are even from Guy Richie films And I feel that this movie gives you quite a few twists really Moments from beginning to end all the while was some fantastic acting and narration by Craig as well as all the other cast members And the music the music is so good I actually went out of my way to get the soundtrack the physical soundtrack even though when I bought this off of Amazon It was $40. How was the cheapest option fc Kwanah the cult Kylie Minow the source a few Duran Duran songs Craig Armstrong Joe Cocker Lisa Gerard Craig Armstrong's track of ruthless gravity so good Honestly, my favorite part of this movie is Ordinary world for those of you who've seen the movie and you know the context of the scene It's just a great great scene and that's not even about the main character It's about a side character and that's what I enjoy a lot about layer cake is that you get an Extensive background into all of these characters. They're not just faces. They actually have a reason a purpose and Interest in them Whereas some films would kind of sideline these guys to a stereotype You see that each character has a great arc We see that everyone matters in the story even the ones that you don't think matter at all They in the end do have it lasting effects and all the while that this story is going on There's humor littered throughout it, which will make you ball out laughing It's not on the same level of almost silliness that Richie's films go into which is Welcome because it works within those films of his this one still portrays a level of seriousness While having humor very lightly sprinkled in but every moment that there is humor is perfect. I've got an idea Why don't you come around for breakfast? I'll squeeze some orange juice and grind some coffee. We can talk about this like adults Do you know where I live no fuck off them and then talking about visual styles There's a few camera angles a few camera tricks that act is almost seamless Changed from one scene to another. There's one particular shot on Craig's eyes That leads into the scene using Craig Armstrong's with this gravity track one of my favorite shots in the whole movie Matthew Vaughn definitely proved himself as a director and this if I'm correct was his first film so to have an outing this good He proved that what most first started off producers can't do which is direct a really good movie You want a good example of it? Look at what Simon Kinberg did to fucking dark Phoenix And I think that that's what makes me like the movie so much is that it will surprise you Right up until the end and even with the ending that's in this film. It's very very Rewatchable it's great to see a bunch of actors in this film before they got really big Daniel Craig This was the movie that got him bond. You see a young Tom Hardy You see Sally Hawkins as a complete and utter reversal of her character from the shape of water and speaking of actors Who kind of just surprised you in this film Dumbledore's in this movie and he's a tan gangster. I thought I could cap on your ass I can rewatch this movie any day of the week. It is one of my favorite films I've ever seen of Craig's so if you ever get the chance. I think it's on Netflix right now at least for Canada You should watch this movie. It's that damn good in the end I'm gonna give layer cake a seven out of seven. This is a really good movie. Definitely check this movie out That's all I'll say about it. Anyways guys if you like this review leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe Otherwise see you guys next time.
