Movies that feel likeThe Tourist (2010)

American tourist Frank meets mysterious British woman Elise on the train to Venice. Romance seems to bud, but there's more to her than meets the eye.

If you loved The Tourist, the closest films we have are Nikita (1990), Underworld (2003) and Ghajini (2008). All three share The Tourist's kinetic and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Unthinkable (2018).
