He's better then just a good actor, he's bloody fantastic more like. He's underrated for sure, but more have started noticing him thanks to Peaky Blinders. But I don't think Cillian really went out of his way to be a massive star, look at his choices of roles. He works with Christopher Nolan and is always excellent but he's never in a leading role. He do the odd Hollywood flick like Red Eye (he's the best thing about that), In Time, In The Heart of the Sea and Transcendence. He star in the odd break out film like Danny Boyle's 28 Day's Later or give performances in films that should have given him award talk but didn't like Ken Loach's The Wind that shakes the Barley or Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto (His best performance in my opinion)
But a lot of his work is mostly indie fare and film's that won't see a large audience. That's a shame cause that's where you see Cillian at his very best. He's excellent in Disco Pigs and On the Edge, gave a great performance in the underrated Anthropoid and Broken, was very good in Free Fire and intermission. He's done other stuff in indie films that range from solid to ok to meh.
But he's got a interest C.V to say the least.
I thiught I was the only one who saw breakfast on Pluto
shareI came to his thread knowing someone would think and post the same. I agree, quite underrated. I’ve always liked him. He always stands out to me in a film even though he’s only the supporting role. He reminds of Terrence Stamp; he has that same quiet intensity, yet he also has Jack Nicholson’s craziness. I think Cillian Murphy is a chameleon, has great range, fits good and bad characters, and has a face for any era. He could easily star in (your profile name) a remake of—heaven forbid—A Clockwork Orange. He has that special x-factor that actors from the 70s had that is kind of lost today. I don’t know what it is. Really liked him in Peaky Blinders.
shareAgreed, incredible actor, but incredibly underrated.
shareGREAT ACTOR,WEAK PHYSICAL PRESENCE.THUS HIS PERPETUAL ON THE BUBBLE STATUS.
shareThat aged well you fucking dunce
shareIT DID...HE IS STILL ON THE BUBBLE...MINUS NOLAN NOT A SINGLE PERSON WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT CILLIAN...I LIKE THE GUY...HE IS A GOOD ACTOR...BUT IT TOOK UNTIL HE WAS 47 YEARS OLD AND TEAMED WITH NOLAN TO EVEN BEGIN THE HE HAS ARRIVED CONVERSATION.
shareHe’s going to win Best Actor this year. You’re a fucking idiot
shareTHAT'S GOOD...HE DESERVES IT...DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT IT TOOK CHRISTOPHER NOLAN...BARBENHEIMER...AND ALMOST UNTIL HIS FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY TO FINALLY CLIMB HIGH ENOUGH ON THE LADDER TO BE RECOGNIZED.
shareSo you admit you were wrong then
shareNO
shareYou did dumbass
shareNOPE...FROM THE BEGINNING I SAID...I LIKE CILLIAN BUT HE HAS BEEN LANGUISHING IN LESSER FILMS AND ROLES FOR TWO DECADES...IT TOOK HIM GROWING INTO HIMSELF A BIT AND A NOLAN MOVIE TO GET HIM TO THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES.
DROP THE NAME CALLING...IT IS CALLED FLAMING AND IS AGAINST THE MOVIECHAT RULES.
"Weak physical presence?" What does that mean? You think he looks weak, too small? Not attractive?
He's getting more of the recognition that he should have before.
weak, too small? Not attractive?
CHECK...WHICH ISN'T A PROBLEM FOR A CHARACTER ACTOR...STEVE BUSCEMI...CILLIAN IS 47 YEARS OLD NOW...HE AGED WELL...AND WORKING ON A NOLAN FILM REALLY HELPS TOO.
I hope you realize a lot of women find him attractive (including me.)
Yeah, happy for his success. I can't believe he's close to 50. He looks like he's in his early 40s/late 30s.
I LIKE THE GUY...HE IS A GOOD ACTOR...I STAND BEHIND MY COMMENT FROM FOUR YEARS AGO THOUGH...

GREAT ACTOR,WEAK PHYSICAL PRESENCE.THUS HIS PERPETUAL ON THE BUBBLE STATUS.
AT 47 HIS PHYSICAL PRESENCE IS MUCH STRONGER...AND WORKING WITH NOLAN IS PROBABLY THE BOOST HE NEEDED.
I'm just saying, I mean, if you're an older guy vs a younger girl of course you're going to have a different view about his physical appearance.
Yeah, it's crazy to think people have been posting this long and are still active.
