The best deaths in Curfew
The General Falls
When you cast Sean Bean in your show, you’ve got to having something pretty clever up your sleeve if you’re planning on killing him off – this is the guy, after all, who’s memorably died in just about everything, most shockingly at the end of Game Of Thrones’ first season.
So it’s all-but-expected that his Curfew character, the General, will bite the bullet at some point. That moment finally comes in episode three, which cleverly plays with audience anticipation as the General attempts to pass through a police check point undetected, taking with him his pregnant girlfriend Faith (Rose Williams).
At numerous points, it seems the General is about to come a cropper, but the moment finally arrives when Faith decides she needs to ditch the General and race alone, because his fiery temper has already nearly got them both killed.
“You seriously think I would let you steal my child?” General rages. “I will hunt you down–” BLAM, the General takes a bullet in the head, as Faith demonstrates she really will do anything to keep her baby alive, even killing its father – what a twist! Jumping into the car, she revs off into the distance, leaving the General to bleed into the tarmac.
Daylight Robbery
We get an insight into just how unhinged the General (Sean Bean) is during a flashback to a bank heist, where he holds up the entire building at gunpoint.
Everything seems to be going off without a hitch until the General sneezes, and a bank teller makes the mistake of saying “bless you”.
“Bless me?” the General demands, “Bless me?!” Losing his cool as usual, he finds the offending teller and, after a tense moment, unloads his rifle into the teller’s chest. He doesn’t stop there, though, taking out the hostages still cowering on the floor in a brutal scene that’s perfectly in keeping with the General’s insane personality. Plus, it’s a fun, tongue-in-cheek spin on that “funny how?” scene from Goodfellas.
