Flowers!

17 minutes and 54 seconds. That's how long it takes for Sean Bean to betray Nicholas Cage in National Treasure or Das Vermächtnis der Tempelritter which it's apparently called in German. (Don't ask me why, but imdb.com decided that the title should be in German.)

You gotta hand it to Mr. Bean - he sure doesn't waste any time. Then again, if I worked with Mr. Cage - neither would I. It's a bit sad really, Sean Bean is one of those actors you see everywhere, but that you never really notice and he's a very good actor. Okay, he got his big break as Boromir in Lord of the Rings, but before that - be honest, where did you see him and know it was him?
The trademark is betrayal. Any kind of betrayal really. Every time I watch a movie with him I just sit and wait for him to betray someone - friend, enemy, king, hobo - it doesn't matter. Just some tiny form of betrayal. You'll notice is next time you see him in a movie and then you'll never get away from it.
