Anyone caught the first 2 of these?
For me its top drawer stuff, lovely mood setting and acting can't get enough of it so far and hoping it sticks to that along with the pacing, brilliant.

Sean Pertwee is for me one of our finest actors, has he ever had a major film role? He's seems always present but rarely have i seen him collect any awards, he is gifted with the finest voice, i sort of watched it wishing his radio station was real.

Off the top of my head:

Dog Soldiers - Briliant

Event Horizon - Crew member

I.D. - Rubbish 'Millwall' hooligan flick

Love, Honour & Obey - Entertaining karaoke gangsters



Yeah, really like Sean Pertwee, he's wasted on Masterchef.

So Dog Soldiers aside then, which is the only thing i can remember seeing him play a major role in film wise, that's not really that good is it?
I mean he has done alright but he should be huge, Vinny Jones CV looks better than that.

When you put it like that. hehe

Agreed, he should have been much bigger.

Quentin Tarantino has the Midas touch for actors as does Guy Richie, both have made a lot of actors both new and washed up, huge beyond where they were going,
John Travolta and Jason Statham respectively spring to mind..... Maybe Pertwee needed to be in a Guy Richie film.

For those of you old enough to remember his father Jon as Doctor Who, he's slowly turning into him; very similar voice too. smile

Dog soldiers is one of my favourite 'B movies ever. Had a good part in Equilibrium (starred Christian Bale) also under rated.
