One of those actors with an unforgettable face due to his disconcerting look and his sharp physiognomy with a disturbing rictus. Almost always more linked to complementary roles, until recently in which he is already gaining more prominence.
A guy who embroiders, above all, his villain interpretations. The actor capable of the most extraordinary camouflage but on many occasions can overload the scenes by that same presence that focuses everything, like the magician or the hypnotist.
With Cillian, a strange paradox awakens in us. On the one hand, she loads her characters with an undoubted personality at the same time that she can be overacted without intending to. In other words, nothing to do with some grimaces Jim Carrey but with his mere presence.
However, as in so many other artistic fields, not leaving anyone indifferent is already a value. And so little by little this actor is convincing us that, beyond his arrival as a very singular profile in the strictly physical, he has a lot to contribute to the world of cinema. Because in the end there is no movie where he appears that is poorly valued by viewers.
Top 3 Recommended Cillian Murphy Movies
Oppenheimer
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:A biopic is always a treat for any actor. Because once the gesture, the speech or the moral dilemmas and experiences of the moment have been achieved, the interpretation takes on another dimension that transcends the strictly interpretative.
So Cillian Murphy has achieved with this film his round role, his ascent to the Olympus of the actors chosen to embody mythical lives of History.
Historical biographical drama based on American Prometheus, the biography written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin about the figure of the scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the creation and development of the atomic bomb. On July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was secretly detonated in the New Mexico desert. In times of war, the brilliant American physicist Julius Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), at the head of the Manhattan Project, leads nuclear tests to build the atomic bomb for his country.
Shocked by its destructive power, Oppenheimer questions the moral consequences of his creation. From then on and for the rest of his life, he would staunchly oppose nuclear war and the even more destructive hydrogen bomb. His life would thus take a profound turn, going from having a fundamental role in the political map of the Cold War to being accused of being a communist in the McCarthy era. Questioning his loyalty, Oppenheimer was labeled a spy for the Soviet Union and forced to resign from any public role.

AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:Being the bad guy in a sci-fi movie as dark as this meant for Cillian to find the tightest of outfits for the party. Because Cillian has that I don't know what look from another world, with icy features that bring him closer to the dreamlike and strange matters that the plot offers us. Paper embroidered by the good old Cillian so that DiCaprio's mission shows us into the abysses of dreams and madness.
Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best extractor. His job is to enter the dreams of his victims and extract secrets of the business world to later sell them with large dividends. Due to his risky methods, large corporations have him in their sights, and no hiding place offers him security. He cannot return to the United States where his children are waiting for him.
The businessman Saito (Ken Watanabe) recruits him for his last mission, which if successful could allow him to return home. This is a very difficult mission. Cobb and his star team won't steal a secret, but rather plant an idea in the subconscious of a multinational heir (Cillian Murphy), who has become a danger to Saito. Cobb and his team prepare meticulously for the mission, but they do not foresee an incalculable risk: the specter of Mal (Marion Cotillard), Cobbs' late wife who still haunts his thoughts...
