Synopsis
The Baker (2023) is a crime-action thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jonathan Sobol. Ron Perlman plays an aging baker who lives almost like a hermit above his quiet shop. That stillness breaks when his estranged adult son turns up — along with a granddaughter the old man never knew he had.
The son is tangled in a drug deal gone wrong, and it gets him killed. Now the girl is in the baker's care, and the men hunting her debt come looking. Turns out the mild shopkeeper is cut from far harder stuff, with a buried past he hoped to leave behind the counter. Harvey Keitel and Elias Koteas fill out a solid supporting cast for this lean genre piece.
This one's for viewers who enjoy the "quiet man with a violent history" setup and Perlman's gravel-voiced screen presence in a lead role. No lofty ambitions, just clear stakes and a dry, grinding tension. Stream The Baker (2023) online on iFILM.
