We went to see Layer Cake last night at the newly opened Odeon eight-screen cinema in Bath. The cinema is great. Nice styling and very well run. Assigned seating in all theatres for all showings too, which was a bit of a novelty. We also had dinner at the King Of Wessex pub next door, which is a Weatherspoons pub, i.e. very modern and very cheap. The pub and the cinema make a great combination.
Layer Cake is a great movie. Promoted as a "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch" type film, it is actually somewhat different with an altogether more polished style. There are similarities to the Guy Ritchie films - British urban crime drama with a hard alternative edge and a complex plot line - but this is on a bigger scale and slightly less gritty. It has some fantastic locations and great performances (especially from Daniel Craig, who carries the movie along very well). Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended.
