Every Cillian Murphy Movie Ranked Worst To Best

18. Sunburn (1999)

Cillian Murphy Inception
IFC Films

The first major film of Murphy's career, filmed when he was just 22, Sunburn is a film you've seen before, but is so warm and well performed you have to forgive its unoriginality. 

Cast as a young man who, along with his friends, ventures from Ireland to the States for a summer job, Murphy is laidback and cool, enjoying adulthood in a strange new world whilst pondering what the future holds. 

It's nothing new, sure, and its conclusions about growing up are slight, but Murphy - young, cocky, rebellious - is fantastic as a man on the precipice of a new chapter, but living life to the fullest before it arrives. From here, it would all be uphill.
