Layer Cake (2004) ✰✰✰✰ (Film4, 11.05pm)

Daniel Craig stars as a drug dealer whose ambition is to earn as much money as possible with the least amount of hassle. The film opens with the nameless businessman explaining how his complicated deals take place and how he’s planning an early retirement. However, as we enter his murky world, we learn the peaceful existence he loves is about to be shattered when his boss Jimmy hands him an assignment to track down the daughter of crime kingpin Eddie Temple. Craig is excellent as the ice-cool lead in this superb thriller, which arguably served as a Bond audition, while good support comes from the rest of the cast, which includes Sienna Miller, Michael Gambon and Colm Meaney.
