Re: l4yer cake
Layer Cake is a great movie. I don't understand why people always have to bring Lock Stock and Snatch into it, though (I'm talking to the other posters as well). If you're going to do that you'd better include [censored] like Get Carter, or the other half-million british underground flicks. How about Straw Dogs, or any other movie where a "crime" takes place "in or around England." Just appreciate Layer Cake for what it is.
Luckily, this is part of my movie critic litmus test. Since it's already [censored] obvious that Lock, Stock and Snatch were better movies anyone who decides to say "Yes, but Lock Stock, and Snatch were far better movies" when talking about Layer Cake gets my Pretentious Dickhole award. These are the same asshats that don't drink merlot anymore because the guy in Sideways said not to.

Re: l4yer cake
Layer Cake is a good movie
Lock Stock and Snatch are a cut above it I'd say, and between Good and Great, and I personally prefer Lock Stock, but only by a little (I'm with the trend, I saw it first). Brad Pitt's pikey (and all the pikeys) are excellent and not caricatures, I'm telling ya! and I want both! On a side-note, Mean Machine is much more marginal, though it does have it's moments (Jason Statham as a psycho goalie who sees things in his head that diverge from reality is quite funny). I'd say it's worth seeing if on TV or at a friends, but don't go out of your way. If you like to try deeper, darker Brit stuff try Gangster No.1 (okay the modern day bits really don't cut it, but the 1960's bits are as good as anything you'll ever see), Sexy Beast, or if you wanna go back in time, 'The Long Good Friday' and the original 'Get Carter'. Carter, I think I've mentioned before, is Michael Caine being the screen's ultimate badass - I kid you not.
