Apparently, this is called The Baker in its native country, the UK. I'm not entirely sure why it was changed but there you go.Milo (Damian Lewis) is a hitman who wants out of the game. After a job goes wrong, he is given a chance to lie low in a small Welsh village, masquerading as the new baker. He finds that he enjoys his cover identity more than his actual life and tries to make a real go of it but the villagers discover what he really is and start trying to hire him to solve all their interpersonal disputes. Plus, a rival hitman (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is doing his level best to track Milo down.
This is a very cute comedy. I love Damian Lewis in pretty much everything and he is adorable here. I wish this film had a little more substance to it but that might just be because I'm judging it by the standards of Wild Target. It doesn't quite measure up but it is nonetheless worth a watch.
