Every Cillian Murphy Movie Ranked Worst To Best

32. Anna (2019)

Cillian Murphy Inception
Universal Pictures

In Luc Besson's derivative action-thriller Anna, centred around a Russian assassin working as a double agent against the KGB, Murphy plays a CIA handler tasked with keeping the film's eponymous killer attached to her dangerous life of gloomy politics and betrayal.

If this sounds familiar, that's because it is - Besson himself has been making this kind of action flick since before Leon: The Professional - and whilst Murphy is again perfectly serviceable in his role, he's never given much to do except lean into the empty stereotypes of yet another hardened government agent.

Dull and meandering, Anna is far below Murphy's level.
