A heavyweight gangster picture worthy of being included in with the greats.July 02, 2009
"Layer Cake" is a stylized British noir full of clever twists, biting dialogue, and plenty of ironic violence.June 10, 2005
The film is lamentably short of narrative coherence.May 26, 2006
[A] fun, snappy crime caper that begins with a wryly understated take on the "one-last-job-and-I'm-out" subgenre.June 03, 2005
It's almost too much to follow, but the style, proven by Ritchie time and again, is irresistible.June 11, 2005
It's a little bleak, a little twisted, a little gory, and a lot funny.June 02, 2005
It has more heft than the Ritchie movies.June 10, 2005
The intricate thing dodges and feints and twists this way and turns that way until, by the time of the alleged resolution, we've lost our bearings completely.September 19, 2010
Only the accents are thicker than double-crosses in a thriller that's stylish and sleek - note lyrically appropriate use of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" in one sequence - but also assuredly delirious, ethically hefty and unpredictably treacherous.March 10, 2006
Intense story about low-level organized crime figures embroiled in a deadly conspiracy.June 20, 2005
I like Layer Cake a lot.September 01, 2008
A história bem amarrada é beneficiada ainda pelo senso de humor seco e eficaz, ao passo que o elenco confere charme a um bando de personagens inescrupulosos e a direção de Vaughn, associada à inventiva montagem, torna o filme sempre instigante.
