This story speaks of a world of dramatic drama that speaks of a middle-level drunk merchant in London. This story begins with many events that speak of that man who decided to stay away from the criminal life he had practiced before. But before that happens, he must end two difficult jobs of his boss unexpectedly.
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.

It has more heft than the Ritchie movies.

"Layer Cake" is a stylized British noir full of clever twists, biting dialogue, and plenty of ironic violence.
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.
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.
