L4yer Cake

From the producer of Lock, Stock... and Snatch comes L4yer Cake. It'd be fairly easy to lump it in with those 2 films and I guess it is. It adheres to similar conventions as Guy Ritchie's films and definately falls under the "British gangster film" but there are some neat little touches that set it apart and make it well worth a viewing.

Daniel Craig, who I've never seen act before (that's right, I still haven't seen Casino Royale) does a good job as the lead drug dealer/"businessman". Actually, all the cast are pretty good, even those in stereotypical roles. It's never played off as cartoony or tongue in cheek, although there are (black) comedic moments to the film.

I actually enjoyed it more than I expected to. Plus, the ending, which the director had to fight for, is a pretty refreshing change in this day and age.
