If you are baffled by the finality of the film, let us decode it for you. Staying true to its name, the film unfolds like a multi-layered cake, with some cream and a lot of dough. The world has gone to the wolves, but the business is doing pretty well.
Gene is trusted by the gang of the protagonist, as he is seemingly valued by Jimmy. XXXX is a middleman in the business — he buys drugs from buyers and sells them to high-end clients.
He channelizes the dirty money through a shady accountant called Mr. Everything is going smooth until he gets a call from Jimmy. Jimmy has two jobs for him. Firstly, a guy named Duke is looking to move a large shipment of drugs. That should not be a problem for the protagonist, who is in the line of work. Breakthrough Hit : For Matthew Vaughn as director. Executive Veto : In the novel, in the scene where X tries to use the Sniper to kill one of the Ruthless Foreign Gangsters , an American tourist is mistaken for the target, and is killed by the Sniper.
This is partially Played for Laughs , because when the actual target runs away, the Sniper refuses to shoot him, as he was only paid for one killing that day.

Dragan full name unknown is a professional assassin working for a Serbian crime syndicate, and the main antagonist of the film Layer Cake.
After his employer is robbed of a large shipment of Ecstasy at gunpoint, Dragan is sent to England to retrieve the cargo and enact a vicious retribution on the thieves - along with anyone who may be associated with them. Almost nothing is known of Dragan's past, only adding to the hitman's mystique. However, it can be assumed from his devotion to the ideals held by his employers that he is not merely a mercenary, but an active member of the gang and a true believer in their strict honor-based principles.
As Shanks later makes apparent, Dragan and his employers were originally members of the Serbian military forced to flee their homeland following the Yugoslav Wars, and are now wanted by the United Nations for an extensive list of war crimes committed during the conflict - including mass murder and genocide. Despite international attention, the ex-soldiers were able to escape the spotlight and find shelter in the Netherlands, gradually trading the military lifestyle for success in the criminal underworld.
By the start of the film, the Serbians have established a major drug factory in a greenhouse on the outskirts of Amsterdam, and Dragan has become legendary for eliminating anyone who challenges his employers - usually taking their heads as trophies for good measure. The main plot of the film is sparked when a group of "loud, attention-seeking wannabe gangsters" led by the Duke make contact with the Serbians and arrange a drug deal at their greenhouse - only to abruptly hold them at gunpoint and steal a large quantity of Ecstasy from them.
Though the only casualty of this encounter is an innocent greenhouse worker accidentally gunned down by the Duke's girlfriend, the Serbians do not take the theft well: their syndicate operates to strict rules of honor and respect, and they cannot tolerate such a stain on their reputation without exacting vengeance on the offender.
As soon as the thieves have departed, the gang's leader calls Dragan and orders him to bring back the Duke's head.
