If Nikita hit the spot, these will too

Kinetic and tense in the same breath
The difference: Trades the romance of Nikita for an angle of its own

Kinetic action in both cases

Thriller built on romance, twice over
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Tense action, and it commits to that
The difference: Sits closer to romance than Nikita does

Thriller with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Both lean on tension more than on action

Common ground: undercover agent
The difference: 20 years apart, and the 2010s show

The same hand behind both of them: Luc Besson
The difference: Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft

Thriller with a pulse of romance, in both cases


Both sit in the same romantic register

One thread runs through both: a secret identity
