Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Layer Cake is a 2004 British crime drama thriller film directed by Matthew Vaughn, in his directorial debut. The screenplay was adapted by J. J. Connolly from his 2000 novel of the same name. The film was produced by Adam Bohling, David Reid and Vaughn, with Stephen Marks as executive producer. The title refers to the social strata, especially in the British criminal underworld. The film's plot revolves around a London-based criminal, played by Daniel Craig, who works in the cocaine trade and wishes to leave the drug business. The film also features Tom Hardy, Michael Gambon, Colm Meaney, and Sienna Miller. Craig's character is unnamed in the film and is listed in the credits as "XXXX". Layer Cake grossed $11.9 million at the box office and received generally positive reviews from critics. Craig's performance in the film has often been cited as a major factor in his casting as James Bond in 2005. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
