"Actor: Sean"

• Tango One | DVD | (19/03/2018) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Based on Stephen Leather's best-selling book, Tango One starring Vincent Regan (300, Top Dog), Brad Moore (North v South) and Sean Blowers (We Still Kill the Old Way) is a fast-paced thriller about the redemption of a dangerous career criminal who is faced with the collapse of his empire and saving his daughter's life. The dangerous mission begins when three recruits are assigned to a team of undercover detectives on their first day of training with the London Metropolitan Police. Their assignment is to take down one of the world's most notorious drug dealers, Den Donovan, alias ˜Tango One'. As the undercover recruits inch closer to their target, they each are drawn in by the charismatic criminal leader, too close, perhaps, to remember the rules. No stranger to the gritty British crime thriller, Vincent Regan gives a career-defining performance that reaffirms his mark as one of the finest gangster actors of our time. Bonus features include interviews from the cast.

• Will And Grace: The Complete Will And Grace | DVD | (30/10/2017) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £39.31

  Hit American sitcom Will and Grace is as perky as Friends and as wittily urbane as Frasier. The premise concerns Will (Eric McCormack), a mildly uptight lawyer who agrees to have as a flatmate his best friend, interior designer Grace (Debra Messing). Their relationship has all the hallmarks of one between lovers--emotional dependency, little things that get on each other's nerves, strong mutual interests and volcanic arguments. The only snag is that while Grace is straight, Will is gay. Though not shy of poking sharp fun at that situation, Will and Grace is among sitcom's most potent and sophisticated antidotes to homophobia. Though initially a little too pleased with its own camp pertness, the show grows and grows on you with successive episodes, finally becoming indispensable. It also benefits from secondary characters Jack (Sean P Hayes) and Karen (Megan Mullally), also gay and straight respectively, both outrageously and hilariously irresponsible characters: he's a free spirit and freeloader, she's "working" as Grace's assistant even though she doesn't need the money, having married some. Despite its diamond and rapid-fire punch lines, Will and Grace conveys enough sense of the lovelorn predicament of the main characters to prevent it becoming too cute. --David Stubbs

• Licorice Pizza | Blu Ray | (06/06/2022) from £8.41   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  California's San Fernando Valley, 1973. Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) is a precocious high schooler and child star who meets - and is immediately besotted with - Alana (Alana Haim), a twenty-something photographer's assistant trying desperately to find herself. The two of them form an unlikely bond, and soon begin running around the Valley together taking part in Gary's many haphazard schemes.

• Just Cause | DVD | (24/01/2000) from £6.95   |  Saving you £7.04 (101.29%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Just Cause is a film that relies on phony plot twists and steals openly from any other thriller that it can remember. If there was a drinking game requiring players to drink during every cinematic "homage", you'd be tanked after its first 45 minutes. Take one case of racial injustice, place it in an exotic, exquisitely photographed location (the Florida Everglades), and bring in an outsider, played by a bankable star, to save the day. Make sure nothing appears as it seems. Add a couple of plot twists, some over-the-top character actors (Ed Harris, shamelessly riffing on Hannibal Lecter), stir, and serve. The big name in this case is Sean Connery, who plays a Harvard law professor summoned to the swamps by an apparently innocent death row inmate (Blair Underwood), who swears he didn't rape and kill that 11-year-old girl. He says he confessed because maverick psycho-cop Tanny Brown (Laurence Fishburne) made him play a solo game of Russian roulette. He says his Serial-killer neighbour on death row (Harris) committed the crime. Connery buys it, the audience buys it, and how could they not? Director Arne Glimcher (who made the lacklustre Mambo Kings) coerces everyone with simplistic plot manipulations. Characters are given no depth, and the actors are pawns moved about like pieces on a Cluedo gameboard. -- Dave McCoy, Amazon.com

• Our Girl: The Nepal Tour | DVD | (13/11/2017) from £9.09   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  In the first of three new tours of duty, Our Girl Georgie Lane, the Stockport-born army medic with Two Section, has been flown out to Nepal to provide humanitarian support following a massive earthquake. Under the watchful eye of Captain James, Georgie is helping coordinate medical facilities while mentoring Maisie, a reckless young recruit, and liaising with Milan, a local engineer. The aftershocks of the earthquake are nothing compared to the tremors she feels when she runs into Elvis or the unexpected feelings she soon develops for Milan. But alongside their immediate duties, Georgie and Two Section swiftly find themselves on a different and more challenging mission as they stumble across a case of child-trafficking. This soon leads them into conflict with a dangerous criminal gang and a crime boss who rules in a world where no one can be trusted and any move can be deadly. Special features Include Outtakes and a Deleted Scene.

• The Gate (Vestron) | Blu Ray | (26/02/2018) from £10.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  In 1987 The Gate was at the forefront of what came and went as a purely 80s genre: Kiddie Horror. Just like The Lost Boys or The Monster Squad of the same year, the idea was to let a couple of younger-than-teenage kids loose in a well-worn horror scenario and play it for as many laughs as scares. Its 15 certificate (PG-13 in the States) meant The Gate had an enormous opening weekend, and a considerable shelf life. The kids in question here are a very young Stephen (Blade) Dorff as Glen and his best friend Terry. After some tree felling in Glen's seemingly miles-square back yard they discover a hole full of precious rock. This is of course the Gate to a demonic dimension. As things start levitating, Glen's dog dies and moths get into the most awkward of places, it becomes obvious that the Gate is open! A teenage sister does little to help early on, but naturally the story develops into one about banding together under extreme circumstances. The make-up and stop-motion animation effects remain impressive in scope and there are a couple of frights still just on the right side of cliché. Since it was so successful, the writer and director went on to make an inferior sequel some years later. On the DVD: Viewers should note this is a very murky transfer that's in an unspecified widescreen ratio. There's also an unspectacular (equally unspecified) sound mix. But a gallery of 10 photos and the theatrical trailer makes up for that, right? --Paul Tonks

• The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day | DVD | (03/05/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  From Troy Duffy writer and director of The Boondock Saints comes the much anticipated sequel to the tough stylized cutting edge saga of the MacManus brothers (Norman Reedus Sean Patrick Flanery). The two have been in deep hiding with their father Il Duce (Billy Connolly) in the quiet valleys of Ireland far removed from their former vigilante lives. When word comes that a beloved priest has been killed by sinister forces from deep within the mob the brothers return to Boston to mount a violent and bloody crusade to bring justice to those responsible. With a new partner in crime (Clifton Collins Jr. Star Trek) and a sexy FBI operative (Julie Benz TV's Dexter) hot on their trail... the Saints are back!

• Goldeneye | Blu Ray | (04/02/2013) from £6.90   |  Saving you £13.09 (189.71%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Pierce Brosnan assumed the role of James Bond for the first time in Goldeneye, the 17th entry in the series. Brosnan looks a little light on the big screen under any circumstances, and he does take some getting used to as 007. But this busy film keeps him hopping as freelance terrorists from the former Soviet Union get their hands on super-high-tech weapons. The film's challenge is to bring free-spirited Bond up to date in the age of AIDS and in the aftermath of the cold war: director Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro) succeeds on both counts with a cheeky hint of irony. The best moment in the film is a chase scene that finds Bond tearing up the streets of Moscow in a tank. But Brosnan's most interesting contributions are reminiscent of the dark streak that occasionally showed up in Sean Connery's Bond. --Tom Keogh

• Othello | DVD | (17/11/2003) from £13.47   |  Saving you £6.52 (48.40%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Critically acclaimed adaptation starring Sir Ian McKellen. Unparalleled in its simplicity and in the timelessness of its ferocious and pointed deeply human tragedy Shakespeare's 'Othello' is presented here in yet another award winning brilliantly rendered production from legendary director Trevor Nunn and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

• Endeavour: Series 1-8 | DVD | (11/10/2021) from £66.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

• Gangster Squad | DVD | (27/05/2013) from £4.49   |  Saving you £11.50 (256.12%)   |  RRP £15.99

  The turf explored in Gangster Squad may not be entirely accurate to historical truth, but it sure looks like the world of the movie mobster: the basics are instantly recognizable if you've seen L.A. Confidential and The Untouchables. Take a post-World War II Los Angeles, plunge it in noir, drop a ruthless gangster into the mix, and let loose an extralegal squad of cops to break the mob's rule. The crime kingpin in question is Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn), and his LAPD adversaries include a detective so square his fedora appears permanently affixed to his skull (Josh Brolin) and a ladies' man (Ryan Gosling) whose dalliance with Cohen's escort (Emma Stone) might not be the best idea for a smooth relationship. Their squad includes stalwart character actors such as Anthony Mackie, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi, and an especially droll Robert Patrick. With all this talent on display, the movie must surely have some bang in its Tommy gun--but alas, director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) has opted for a peculiarly lighthearted, bantering tone for much of the action, which sits oddly with the gun massacres and dismemberments on display. He's also got Sean Penn in full Actor mode, snorting and stamping and wearing his prosthetic nose like a badge of pride. All of which might make for a juicy piece of entertainment, if the film didn't keep tripping over its own clichés and periodically losing its momentum. (Gangster Squad was bumped from its original 2012 opening date after the mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater; a shootout scene set in a movie theater was cut and re-shot in a different location for the film's eventual January 2013 release.) --Robert Horton

• The Hunt For Red October | DVD | (06/11/2000) from £7.87   |  Saving you £8.12 (103.18%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Before Harrison Ford assumed the mantle of playing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan hero in Patriot Games, Alec Baldwin took a swing at the character in this John McTiernan film and hit one to the fence. If less instantly sympathetic than Ford, Baldwin is in some respects more interesting and nuanced as Ryan, and drawing comparisons between both actors' performances can make for some interesting post-movie discussion. That aside, The Hunt for Red October stands alone as a uniquely exciting adventure with a fantastic co-star: Sean Connery as a Russian nuclear submarine captain attempting to defect to the West on his ship. Ryan must figure out his true motives for approaching the US. McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) made an exceptionally handsome movie here with action sequences that really do take one's breath away. --Tom Keogh
