The most dangerous former operative of the CIA is drawn out of hiding to uncover hidden truths about his past.

If you loved Jason Bourne, the closest films we have are Ender's Game (2013), Bumblebee (2018) and Predators (2010). All three share Jason Bourne's kinetic and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Black Widow (2021).
