Movies that feel likeThe Green Hornet (2011)

Britt Reid, the heir to the largest newspaper fortune in Los Angeles, is a spoiled playboy who has been, thus far, happy to lead an aimless life. After his father dies, Britt meets Kato, a resourceful company employee. Realizing that they have the talent and resources to make something of their lives, Britt and Kato join forces as costumed crime-fighters to bring down the city's most-powerful criminal, Chudnofsky.

If you loved The Green Hornet, the closest films we have are Rumble in the Bronx (1995), The Italian Job (2003) and Four Brothers (2005). All three share The Green Hornet's kinetic and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

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