Trivia
"This film is very special to me," says Ron Perlman. "It pits a cold, dark, explosively violent world, filled with unspeakable histories, against the gravitational forces of long forgotten loved ones, making its reluctant hero do anything to protect the innocent. Anything! (7/19/2023)"

Goofs
When Peter calls his father, he tells him that Delfi "likes to put grapes in her cereal. The red ones, not the green ones." But, near the end of the film, Vic tells Peter's father "You know, for what it's worth, your boy died thinking not about himself but about his little girl. How she liked green grapes."

Very Good Thriller!

The Baker

We had a blistering start to the movie, what a beginning. Ron Perlman just oozed menace and Joel David Moore (Norm from Avatar) turned out a class act, albeit brief.

As a movie this was a page turner, it was script light and heavy on the action. In short it was a great thriller and yes, we had a few scenes that stretched credulity, but overall it was gripping.

I am not sure why some "critics" on here can't see the simple joy in this story about a grandfather protecting his family that was very well done, not to mention the great direction and great music.

I'm giving this a firm 6 outta 10 for a strong entertaining movie.
