All I can say in response to the following clip is, you best not f*ck with Simon Baker. Well, that and OUCH!! I usually think of Baker as being a pretty mellow dude, nice fella and all, nothin’ too intimidating, but damn… I guess in his new flick, NOT FORGOTTEN, Baker is all about slicing people up with broken bottles and smashing their heads into toilet seats. That’s if this clip is any indication…

Here’s the synopsis for the film, which might give you a hint as to why Baker is so friggin’ pissed: Jack Bishop (Baker) lives the life of every man’s dream with his beautiful wife, Amaya, and a happy, healthy daughter, Toby. When Toby goes missing, Jack knows his past has come back to haunt him. He also knows the only way he can find her is to use the powers of his long forgotten faith, La Santa Muerte, protectors of the sinner, the worshippers of the dead. Accompanied by the insecure newly-appointed sheriff and a pair of wary FBI agents, Jack’s search takes him deep into his past, to a psychic who visualizes Jack’s secret in terrifying detail, to the squalid barrios and seediest brothels in Mexico City’s underbelly. But the power of the La Santa Muerte is stronger then he ever imagined, as it reaches out to touch his family and reveals an even darker and unexpected web of lies and deceit.
