Every Cillian Murphy Movie Ranked Worst To Best

6. 28 Days Later (2002)

Cillian Murphy Inception

For a large chunk of Danny Boyle's radical zombie flick, Murphy is the only actor on screen, forced to confront a changed world without warning before the real threat of human evil rears its ugly head and forces him to evolve.

Wholly innocent and unprepared for what lurks on the desolate streets of London, Murphy's turn as Jim remains one of his most recognisable, thanks in large part to the fear, uncertainty, and relatable normalness he injects into such dire circumstances - especially when he's finally forced to fight back against the film's true villains.

A frightening, demanding role, here's to hoping Murphy brings Jim back for Boyle's recently-announced 28 Days Later sequels.
