GoldenEye [1995]

starring: Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Izabella Scorupco, Famke Janssen, Joe Don Baker
directed by: Martin Campbell

Release Date November 03, 2003
I didn't think the humour in Goldeneye was that good and some of the characters were uninteresting to say the least.This is a bond film about computers and space technology and as with moonraker ( a roger moore bond film) the story didn't appeal to someone like me who prefers films with their feet closer to the ground.If you are a sean bean fan then this film is worth buying to see him put in a good performance as the bad guy but buy the World is Not Enough instead if you are a Pierce Brosnan fan and want to see him at his best.

Sharpe's Siege [1996]

starring: Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley, Abigail Cruttenden, Hugh Fraser, James Laurenson
directed by: Tom Clegg

Release Date August 19, 1996
This is probably the most satisfying of the "Sharpe" series. Although differing from the book in some key ares ( the absence of the Americans for one, and no mention of the USA entering the war on Bonaparte's side) it retains the excitement and characterisation we have come to expect.

What gives it added enjoyment is the interplay between Sharpe and Harper which has rarely been as understated or witty. The scene where Harper pulls out his own tooth is touching and amusing, with Sean Bean giving full rein to his Yorkshire accent - "Go on Patrick, get t'bugger out!".

The framing of the story between Sharpes wife Jane falling ill as he sets out and his return is also handled well. The villainous Ducos is for once ... Read More:

The Fifteen Streets [1989]

starring: Owen Teale, Sean Bean, Anny Tobin, Leslie Schofield, Faye Dannell
directed by: David Wheatley

Release Date January 24, 2000
I was really disappointed by this film. After reading the rave reviews elsewhere I thought it would be gripping, but found the characters like 'cardboard cutouts' rather than any great role development taking place. Was some footage cut somewhere? The only great acting came from Sean Bean (as the moody, troublesome brother who's always looking for a fight), but his part isn't that big, so if you're a Bean fan I would suggest buying a different Bean film.

The Field [1990]

starring: Richard Harris, John Hurt, Sean Bean, Frances Tomelty, Brenda Fricker
directed by: Jim Sheridan

Release Date August 20, 2001
For the first ten minutes or so, I was pretty sure I was going to hate The Field. Every Irish cliché in casting and plotting is present: burly men with short tempers and long memories of the Potato Famine, family secrets, dead sons, weak heirs and overbearing fathers, Brenda Fricker's silent tough-as-nails wife, Francis Tomelty's widow woman scorned for the crime of coming from another village, Jenny Conley's tinker's girl, even the village priest played by an actor out of Father Ted and a score full of fiddles and ondes martinets from Elmer Bernstein. And look, isn't that John Hurt with blacked out teeth playing the village eejit? It is that. There's no evil English landlord, but at times there's the very real threat that it's going to spin off into Victorian ... Read More:

Lorna Doone [1990]

starring: Michael MacKenzie, Andrew Ferguson, Sean Bean, Claire Madden, Clive Owen
directed by: Andrew Grieve

Release Date May 06, 2002
Yes this version takes liberties with the book, cutting away much of the historical detail. But it works (or I am a philistine) allowing dramatic licence to hold sway over historical accuracy (the book is overly long anyway, and would have benefitted from some serious editing). I remember watching this as a little girl one winter's afternoon and thinking how impossibly romantic. It really brings to life the story and the sense of wildness that surrounds Exmoor.

This is far superior to the recent BBC version--with its lacklustre protaganists and little chemistry between the leads. Here the romance sparks, we have a headstrong and wilful Lorna, willing to risk her very life to be with John-- far better than Amelia Warner's pitifully bland performance. ... Read More:

Sharpe's Company [1994]

starring: Sean Bean, Pete Postlethwaite, Daragh O'Malley, Hugh Fraser, Michael Byrne
directed by: Tom Clegg

Release Date January 26, 2000
Whatever my record was for urging one character to kill another in a movie, I surely broke it while watching "Sharpe's Company." This is the third film in the series based on the novels of Bernard Cromwell and is set in Spain in 1812 as the Duke of Wellington begins his invasion of Spain from Portugal while Napoleon is preoccupied with developments in northern Europe. The key to a successful campaign is the capture of two great fortresses, Ciudad Rodrigo in the north and Badajoz in the south. Meanwhile, Richard Sharpe (Sean Bean) has his own concerns.

First, Sharpe is demoted to lieutenant, when the captancy of his unit is purchased a nobleman. That means are hero longs to do something that will get his rank back so that he cannot lose it again, and being ... Read More:

When Saturday Comes [1996]

starring: Sean Bean, Emily Lloyd, Pete Postlethwaite, Craig Kelly (II), John McEnery
directed by: Maria Giese

Release Date July 26, 1999
An entertaining film - not original and not really very believable in places BUT it was entertaining and appealing to a wide (i.e. men and women) audience as it featured football and Sean Bean. What more can I say?

Sharpe's Revenge [1997]

starring: Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley, Abigail Cruttenden, Philip Whitchurch, Cécile Paoli
directed by: Tom Clegg

Release Date May 08, 1997
If youre a Sharp fan (and I make no excuses or apologies for the fact that I am!)you'll love this. It's everything you'd expect from Sharp, a great story which twists and turns, throwing you a few curve balls along the way, I know that sounds a tad vague, however you really do need to see it for yourself since any plot details revealed -apart from a very general outline would spoil it.
I can tell you that the Peninsula War has drawn to a close, but the private war between the French spy Ducos and Richard Sharpe is still alive and kicking, with Ducos as ever the agressor. His latest attempt to destroy the legendary Sharpe finds him attacking the officers integrity and honour by accusing him of stealing Napoleon's treasures, things raised from the ranks Sharpe values ...

Sharpe's Justice [1997]

starring: Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley, Abigail Cruttenden, Caroline Langrishe, Philip Glenister
directed by: Tom Clegg

Release Date July 14, 1997
If there is one thing that I have learned from the first dozen adventures of Major Richard Sharpe (Sean Bean), maverick British officer from the Napoleonic Wars, it is that the only time our hero takes direct and final action against an enemy is when the script is not based on one of Bernard Cornwell's novels, which is the case with "Sharpe's Justice." In the previous outing, "Sharpe's Revenge," his target was the French spymaster Major Ducos, who had framed Sharpe for stealing Napoleon's treasure. But as Sergeant Harper (Daragh O'Malley) pointed out, Ducos was only the first half of Sharpe's revenge. Waiting fearfully in their bed back in England are Sharpe's errant wife, Jane (Abigail Cruttenden), and her lover, the impoverished Lord Rossendale (Alexis Denisof). However, ... Read More:
