Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

tmpsvita First project for Matthew Vaughn ("Stardust", "Kick-Ass", "Kingman") as director, he had previously played only roles as producer, and this is the first proof of his great talent as such. "Layer Cake" has all the features that have made Vaughn a very influential personality in the world of entertainment cinema, especially in recent years; also here the director is often dynamic, very fluid, fast, almost frenetic, extremely original and imaginative, especially in the appropriate but never predictable use of certain tools to create sequences with a strong visual and emotional impact thanks to beautiful camera movements and long shots. A script certainly interesting and engaging, as well as well designed but that in its being quick to keep up with the (masterful) editing and directing, lose a few pieces. Given also the considerable amount of details and information that are added with the advancing of time and that make the story more and more complex, more "calm" moments would have been pleasing to be able to rework the whole and be able to better understand the plot that in some points get confused. This is why the film although technically is incredible and the interpretations are quite satisfying, in the end it gave me the feeling of being a half-exploited opportunity that, yes, in general is more than sufficient, but that if better managed from the narrative point of view could really have left a more significant sign in the "modern" cinema, it could have turned into a small pearl destined to become a cult.

WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerThe story starts off really strong and engaging but losses some power towards the middle. The ending is very shocking though.The acting all around is good. Daniel Craig performs very well.The pacing is good in the beginning but gets weaker as the film continues onward.The runtime is a little bit overlong.Pros: Engaging story, good acting, fast pacing in the beginning, and a shocking endingCons: Story gets weak in the middle, overlong runtime, and the pacing slows down as the film continues onwardOverall Rating: 7.0

drystyx This is just another of those continually stupid movies of continually Beavis and Butthead nonsense that the maniacs who make such movies feel powerful about, with the Bundy family fans being their goofy sheep and praising.There's no plot here. It's just people going through a contrived script by someone who doesn't know how to write, but is eager to be one of the Nazi propaganda machine.It's really just an excuse to kill the dark hair woman as often as possible, which is the only real goal of this movie, Nazi propaganda and brainwashing. That's it. Anyone who says it is anything more is missing the point of this chick flick. It's meant to depress young men, period. It's the same Hollywood hate formula we see over and over. New names are added to the mix of the demonic Nazi machine, and it's obvious the writer and director idolize Adolf Hitler, and want to keep his spirit alive. To be honest, this demonic spirit was in effect long before Hitler. He was just another part of it. It's not natural, but these human monsters possessed by the Nazi demon want to keep preaching that it is.The movie is just another bit of Hollywood Nazi preaching, and overkill. Fortunately, the script is so ridiculous that it can't convert anyone with an IQ over 51.33, but that still leaves a lot of fans. True, they're all Beavis, Butthead, Al Bundy, Peg Bundy, and the like, but they are too many.

MrMovieMe If this movie would have come out 10 years later, it would have made a huge hit.Matthew Vaughn's first outing as a director sees him play. He doesn't take a step back, hesitating, which results in some great fight scenes. The "Ordinary World" sequence showing us a glimpse of Vaughn's vision that would in the future give us some of the best one screen fights in Kick-Ass, Kingsman and Stardust.The Casting is great; showing us some of Britain's best talents. Vaughn's casting is tight and stars in the making come out of his movies.This movie might not have been a bond movie, but aside from "Casino Royal" this is Craig's best Bondish movie.
