How long’s it going to take Sean Bean to die in this one? Known as much for his many onscreen deaths – he has died in a quarter of his onscreen roles – as his many wives in real life, you’d think the star of Sharpe, Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings would start looking at less risky roles. Kindly uncle in a rom com. Gruff but loveable grandpa in a Yorkshire mining town.
But no, here he is, this time in Liverpool, playing Ronnie Phelan, the head of a drugs gang in the North of England. A very risky place to be.
