plot: After a hit is taken out on him, an assassin decides it's time to quit the business. He does so by hiding out in a small village as the new baker. But it's not long before his cover is blown, and the villagers begin expecting more then just bread when they order from him.I really dug this film. It had everything from elements of a buddy comedy, to a crime film, to a romance and exploding sheep.
There is a sub-text involving the second hitman who is assigned the bounty for the Baker, that plays out in the last few scenes when they have their big confrontation. Hint- love triangle.
And I love that they named the wannabe Eggs. Cause you can't really bake without eggs most of the time.
What do I think I learned from this movie:Everyone deserves a second chance. Sometimes the most unlikely job is truly your life's calling. Sometimes a chocolate cake is just a misunderstanding.
