Milo is a professional hit man living on the edge. When he fails to fulfill a contract for the first time in his career, he is forced to escape the city to avoid the wrath of his employers who are keen to make him pay for his apparent failure. Pursued by a ruthless colleague who has been charged with delivering his punishment, Milo hides out in a remote rural village where the locals mistake him for the new baker. Forced to bake bread and cakes to maintain his cover, what he discovers in the process is nothing short of a revelation. When sparks fly with the beautiful local vet, he decides to start a legitimate new life as the village baker but with his past about to catch up with him, Milo soon discovers that you can’t always have your cake and eat it too.

The Baker is a totally relaxed and breezy comedy set in the Welsh countryside. The cast was great – I always love to see Damian Lewis as well as Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. It's just that something seemed to be missing. It was like eating a dish that the chef hadn't quite finished making. Plus, I don't like scenes with applause and sudden mass epiphanies, so three stars is as high as I’ll go.
