Really? I think that's the first movie I ever noticed him in. It was kinda cool hearing the director talk about the movie Flightplan in the commentary. One reason he chose Sean Bean for the pilot was precisely because of the typecasting of him as the 'bad guy'. It made for interesting dynamic in the movie.
I liked Equilibrium, for that reason. He WASN'T a bad guy in that one!
Wish he'd had a bigger part in Equilibrium. Sean Bean reading poetry...was very, very nice. If ya know what I mean.
