Layer Cake (2004)

Synopsis: A drug dealer wants to quit the business, but is forced into doing a last job which consists of pushing a huge load of ecstasy pills. Everything goes wrong.

Appraisal: A high number of secondary characters and plot subtleties characterizes it. The main attraction are the competent actors, but other than that, and despite the script's complexity, or maybe because of it, this doesn't pay off as it should; although watchable on a superficial level, it doesn't add significantly to the already extensive filmography of its genre.

Rating: 47
