TIM ROTH (Tin Star); Review: Pick of the Week: Tin Star: Sky Atlantic, Wednesday, 2am; Thursday, 9pm/10pm.

“I thought you were dead,” Mary (Joanne Whalley) tells her long-lost associate Jack Worth (Tim Roth), hugging him. “So did I,” answers Jack. After the all-guns-blazing firefights of Tin Star’s past two seasons, he is right to be surprised he is still alive — although that’s a situation that is again looking shaky. It is not so much that the past has caught up with the Worths, more that they are running directly into its arms in a hail of bullets, leaving behind the gothic Canadiana of LittleBig Bear to settle old scores in Liverpool... (Short, but interesting, ¾-page review of Tin Star starring Tim Roth; displays a large image of Roth)
