karma90 - Layer Cake is tied with Casino Royale for my favorite Daniel Craig film. Here's some funny facts regarding my family watching this one. My brothers and I had to pause and rewind this film several times because of the near incomprehensible mumble-mouth English accents and slang dialogue. That's my only pet peeve with British films. The country is the origin of the English language and nobody speaks the damn language!

Rich Alejandro80 - Layer Cake is an interesting one. It's the movie that got Daniel Craig in the door for 007. It's got that feel of many different movies at once. It gets heady, because it's talking about the different classes in life and even in the criminal underworld. Even if you don't like him as Bond, it's a good view. Definitely worthy of a cult status.
