There are many reasons to look forward to Junkhearts. One of them is the unstoppably brilliant Eddie Marsan, who plays the lead, Frank, an ex-soldier with “a dark past”. Another is Simon Frank, the film’s writer, who recently won a TAPS newcomer award for The Dry Cleaner and whose other short piece, The Mood, won the Soho Shorts Film Festival. But the real reason why I’m looking forward to Junkhearts is, shamefully, that I went to school with its other lead, Tom Sturridge. Look, I’m telling it to you straight here – he’s a talented little bastard, and after undemanding fluff like The Boat The Rocked, it’s going to be great to see him actually get his teeth into the "real" role of manipulative drug dealer Danny.
