DVD Description
The Baker is a killer comedy about how you can’t escape your past, especially when you’re an ex-hitman...

Starring Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers), Michael Gambon (Harry Potter, Cranford, Layer Cake) and Kate Ashfield (Shaun of the Dead), The Baker is written and directed by Gareth Lewis.

Milo (Damian Lewis) is a professional hit man living on the edge. When failing to fulfil a contract for the first time, Milo escapes the city to avoid the wrath of his employers. Hiding out in a remote rural village, the locals mistake him for the new baker.

He adopts this role as his new cover and sets about baking bread and cakes for the village. When sparks fly with the local vet Rhiannon (Kate Ashfield) he decides to start a new life as the village baker, but his past is about to catch up with him. In a small village where everyone knows your deepest darkest secrets and no one is as innocent as they seem Milo discovers that you can’t always have your cake and eat it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Baker is a smart, weird, wonderful, and very funny film!, 11 Mar 2008
The Baker is a novel and enjoyable film with an engaging and entertaining story and a great cast. Damian Lewis is perfect as "the hitman experiencing a mid-life crisis" but the charming Welsh village that he selects as a hide-out is anything but idyllic or even "normal" (although it is beautiful!) The film made me laugh and warmed my heart. It is inventive, intelligent and wickedly funny and I strongly recommend it to anyone wants to laugh and be suprised by a clever and hilarious movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Madness, pure madness!, 2 May 2008
By Mr. Dl Fitzgerald "dean john" (wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I only got this dvd to rent because i'm a big fan of damien lewis, but after a slow start, this film blossomed into an absoloute gem! Being welsh myself, i love the way we're portrayed in this film (as most valley people, excluding myself of course!). The funeral is a joy to watch as is the accompanying song! laugh out loud stuff most of the time! if you like twin town you love this film!

5.0 out of 5 stars discover a gem, 10 Mar 2008
By jam (Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
A very good british film, that should be seen by wider audience, a funny, dark, a well acted and executed film. A real little gem.
