Every Danny Boyle Movie, Ranked
These 14 films are anything but boring.
There are some nice touches — Boyle tries to add some darkness with Jack’s growing paranoia that he’ll be found out, and Robert Carlyle plays an excellent now-not-famous-at-all 83-year-old John Lennon — but this is a movie with extended cameos from both Ed Sheeran and James Corden, which should probably tell you all you need to know. While you can see all the plot gears churning away, and it’s rarely surprising, it still works like gangbusters, thanks largely to a terrific cast (including Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, both making their film debuts and both absolutely perfect) and Boyle’s execution, which ensures every story beat hits with maximum velocity. But Sunshine ’s cast is filled with superb actors, including Rose Byrne, Cliff Curtis, Benedict Wong, and Michelle Yeoh — not to mention a pre-fame Chris Evans — as their spacecraft faces deadly obstacles on the way to completing this desperate mission.
