Movie #369 "Assassin in Love" is a delightful deviation film from the norm. I've seen a lot of movies, but I can say I've never seen a love story with a love scene like the one in this movie --- there are sheep that explode, and who knows what else in this movie to set it apart from others. The storyline is kind of popular --- a professional assassin who decides to go straight, and people think he's someone else --- but in this case, it's a baker, and that's not an easy occupation to fake.........at least without very funny situations that result from his "trying" to act like a baker. Throw in a very quirky town and you have a very funny indie that deserves a second look, esp. from people who are searching for movies that are different/independent. I liked this one a lot ----a quirkie comedy!

Assassin in Love
The Baker
(2008) PG-13
A sleepy village in the country seems like the perfect hideout for a failed assassin (Damian Lewis) who's trying his best to avoid his angry employers. That is, until the locals assume he's the new baker they've hired, and promptly put him to work. Forget what he might have been asked to do in the past ... this new gig is no piece of cake. Michael Gambon and Kate Ashfield co-star in this quirky comedy with plenty of bite.
