    Anyone seen Layer Cake on DVD?

    Me and my girlfriend just watched it. Is it just me, or was the dialogue very very hard to understand a lot of the time? The background and music made it almost imposible to understand what they were saying. I had to use the subtitles for the first time. Poor mastering I thought, never had this problem before (admitedly my setup is a bit bass heavy at the moment).

    The other thing, anyone know what his name was? is there a clue in there somewhere? Or was it just to suprise us that we never thought about it till the end?

    I have it on DVD too and I thought it had a decent soundtrack.... Sounds smooth and well balanced to me.

    And I don't think we're meant to know his name, that's why he's just credited as "x"

    got it on DVD and the sound is crystal clear in 5.1 or just stereo.

    Played it on my PC also just to test - worked fine too.

    It is Inevitable.....

    Fantastic film, not as good as Lock Stock or Snatch though. Sound was fine on my TV

    check your centre speaker isnt turned down too low, as nearly all dialog will come out thru that
