Layer Cake (2004)

Daniel Craig's true break-through into cinema comes in Matthew Vaughn's film. A successful drug manufacturer plans his retirement but his boss actually gives him two final jobs - find the daughter of another prominent "businessman" and negotiate the disposal of a large amount of ecstacy pills.

This, obviously, leads to deceit and double crossing and various different story strands all coming together.

The film contains a plethora of British TV/film stars including Kenneth Cranham as Jimmy Price, Sir Michael Gambon as Eddie Temple and others including the start of Sienna Miller's film career and the continuation of Colm Meaney's career. The film's soundtrack is set to 70's/80's music mainly but it's a fine juxtaposition (especially George Harris' Morty beating up a former posse member set to Duran Duran's Ordinary World)

Star of the film: Daniel Craig's XXXX character's progression through the film is very much a tribute to Craig's acting ability.
Best Bit: I would say the escape from the warehouse, drugs in tow, followed by the police.
