Sean Bean
This archive gathers the films featuring Sean Bean reviewed at Master of Worlds: “Black Death (2010)”, “Game of Thrones (2011-2019)”, “GoldenEye (1995)”, “Ronin (1998)”, and “The Martian (2015)” — 5 titles in all. Across these reviews the focus stays on how Sean Bean serves each story: the choices that make a performance work, the roles that anchor a film, and the range visible across different pictures.
