I probably shouldn't have watched Snatch and Layer Cake back to back ... then again, it is good in order to get at least some of the British slang. :-) Two movies are somewhat similar in that they are both dark comedies involving underworld characters from England. Matthew Vaughn produced both, directed this one. Fast paced, somewhat convoluted plot, good acting, good direction, etc. Over all, a well made movie. You have to be in "that" frame of mind to enjoy it, but once you are there, it's just too funny. (Same for Snatch.) My Rating: 7.5
