Acerca deste filme

The Godfather meets Layer Cake, The Birthday Cake is a hard-hitting and gripping mob-drama with a murderous all-star cast including Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting), Val Kilmer (Top Gun), William Fichtner (Prison Break), Luis Guzmán (Traffic), Lorraine Bracco (Goodfellas), Emory Cohen (Brooklyn), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas), Penn Padgley (You), Ashley Benson (Pretty Little Liars) and Shiloh Fernandez (Red Riding Hood). On one fateful evening, Gio, the son of a murdered mobster and the nephew of Brooklyn mob boss Angelo (Kilmer), carries on the family tradition of bringing a cake his mother baked to his uncle's house for a celebration. Just two hours into the night, Gio's life is forever changed as he begins to piece together what really happened to his father and ultimately comes face to face with the type of violence he has managed to avoid his whole life.

It was good, then a little boring middle to end ish. But the twist near the end!!! Oh that shot it right back up into interesting! I would have like a little more explanation on some points and reveals made within the film, but i also like that it doesn't just hand you everything on a platter. Overall a good film, would happily watch again.

It's ok, then it's boring, then funny, then kinda meh. Ewan McGregor looks good in his priest robes though
