Layer Cake

Layer Cake (2004) is a British crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. A nameless London cocaine dealer, known only as XXXX, has it all figured out: bank the money, keep his hands clean, retire young. His boss has other ideas.

Daniel Craig plays a middleman who thinks he is smarter than the violent world he profits from. One last favour before he walks away — track down the runaway daughter of the boss's old friend — drags him into a stolen shipment of ecstasy, a Serbian crew, and a chain of people who would happily put a bullet in him for their cut. Early turns from Tom Hardy, Sienna Miller, Ben Whishaw and Michael Gambon fill out the cast.

This was Matthew Vaughn's directing debut, made after he produced Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and before Stardust and Kingsman. Cold London light, pitch-black humour, and the role that helped land Craig the part of James Bond. Stream Layer Cake (2004) online on iFILM.
