I haven't seen Layer Cake so I can't rate it but I thought Sexy Beast was good if you like British crime films. I wouldn't like to receive a phone call from Don Logan.

I saw Layer Cake on BBC America last night, albeit in "especially ruined for television" form ("kiss my knee, muddy funster"). Craig gives basically the same performance that he did in Casino Royale, which actually makes a lot more sense if you think of it as a sequel to Layer Cake. It's easy to imagine that
Spoiler
XXXX survived the shooting at the end and decided to take up the offer by Dexter Fletcher's character to "join our side", getting himself hooked up with the secret service
. Now, if only they didn't keep referring to this character as "Bond" and "007". Then again, it could just be a ploy to disguise his real name. After all, if you knew his name, you'd be as clever as he is.

Just watch the current "Bond" series if you want an action-packed high octane Layer Cake Bond.

I myself found Munich rather boring to tell the truth.
Good performances, but not something I would wanna see again.
Yup.And it was a LONG movie. There's a documentary called One Day In September on the same subject which is worth finding if you're interested in the subject :up:
