The Birthday Cake

More muddled than the batter used for baking a cake. Oh yeah, happy birthday....enjoy your slice of cake. There's a widowette party going on too.

Complete mess. Would not advise watching. Everything about it confused. Poor acting, even from the big names. Amateurish. Story could have been good if done differently.

This film was genuinely unclear, underwhelming and lacked clear direction. Also noting you can't understand one word that Uncle Angelo speaks throughout the entire movie (which I found to be ridiculous and unnecessary). Some genuine stars cast here as well as stating its a combination of 'Layer Cake and The Godfather' in the movie description (absolutely reaching) it was all too promising but what an absolute let down in the end. Some poor audio too which didn't help. Giving it two stars as it was entertaining in some moments and nice to see some familiar faces however ultimately it missed the bar.

Realistic take on crime families a raw and gritty film with a vintage feel and way of storytelling, big indie vibe that used to be a staple in Hollywood before the transformer marvel era that has made art like this film hard to sell. This would have been box office gold in 95, but art is not appropriated these days. Gotta love the ramble and flow and concept of this whole film.

Great Cast! But… The acting, script, cinematography, music…. Horrific. An embarrassing film for all who were involved. A real cinematic steaming pile of sh*t!

Could bearly hear the dialogue over back gound noise, extremely bad audio mix, 1/2 way through the movie, didn't care what was going to happen, too bored. This is plain crap, I don't have anything to add

Best gangster movie in many years, I am very confused why the rating is so low on this website.

How did so many talented actors wind up in this film that probably doesn't even deserve to be in Walmart's 3 dollar bin?

Absolutely dire no idea where the ratings come from, Val Kilmer?

If you don't like this movie, you might be a moron.
