Starring: Daniel Craig and Colm Meaney

A successful cocaine dealer is given two tough assignments before his planned early retirement from the business

The screenplay for this crime thriller was adapted by J. J. Connolly from his novel of the same name, first published in 2000. There is one scene at London Paddington with Paul Orchard arriving on the Liverpool train! A pair of First Great Western HSTs are visible. The film’s title is occasionally stylised as L4YER CAKƐ, the title of the book.
