Ranking All Of Sean Bean's Movie Deaths From Lamest To Best

11. The Hitcher - Shot In The Head With A Shotgun (Again)

2007's The Hitcher is about a psychotic hitchhiker (Bean) who is picked up by Sophia Bush's Grace and Zachary Knighton's Jim and, after escaping him initially, are eventually hunted down.

When he is eventually arrested, he breaks free from his constraints and blows up the police van (did I mention it was produced by Michael Bay?).

As he limps away from the carnage, Bush's character shoots him in the back, then the front before blowing his brains all over the highway. Is it just me, or does it sound like Boromir's death but with shotguns?

Look, is The Hitcher an objectively good movie? Of course not. In fact, the best thing about this movie is the final scene where Sean Bean is blasted to hell.

Sophia Bush's slow walk towards Bean and lack of remorse as she pumps a few rounds of hot lead into his body, resulting in a silhouetted shot of his brains flying out the back of his skull is a lovely piece of direction.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
