[color=#000000ost_uid0]Indeed.

In Equilibrium, Bean plays a cop in a future where emotions and art are forbidden. He gets killed by his own partner in an abandoned church because he refuses to lay down a book of poems by William Butler Yeats. (OK, reaching for his weapon may have been a good secondary reason...)

In Ronin, he's one of the mercs who apparently doesn't know jack. (Leading to DeNiro's hilarious scene with "I just ambushed you with a cup of coffee.") He doesn't get killed, but gets booted out of the team and ridiculed.

In Goldeneye, he's 006, a secret agent gone bad. While I don't recall the film's ending, I'm pretty sure Bond creams him.

And those three are just from the top of my head.

*yank* (pulls thread back on topic)
