Every Cillian Murphy Movie Ranked Worst To Best

In the constantly surprising historical action flick Anthropoid, Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan star as resistance fighters ordered to assassinate Holocaust architect Reinhard Heydrich, a mission that both succeeds but dooms them.

Grounding the lightning-quick action around him with an uncompromising sense of purpose, Murphy has seldom appeared so heroic and hard on-screen. He's doomed from the start, but he captures so much of Jozef Gabčík's resilience that you're left to wonder if - defying history - he'll actually survive.

Proof that in another life Murphy would have made a solid action star, Anthropoid is a subversive thriller bursting with heart, and most of its success lies with Murphy at his stirring best.
