Movies that feel likeAssassin's Creed (2016)

Through a technology that unlocks the genetic memories of his ancestor in 15th century Spain, Callum Lynch discovers he is a descendant of an ancient line of Assassins and amasses lethal skills to take on the oppressive Templar Order.

If you loved Assassin's Creed, the closest films we have are The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), Ra.One (2011) and Bumblebee (2018). All three share Assassin's Creed's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Blue Beetle (2023).

If Assassin's Creed hit the spot, these will too

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire poster

Common ground: conspiracy

The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Forced back into the spotlight, they become symbols of hope and resistance while the Capitol prepares a new and deadly challenge that will change the future of the nation forever.

Ra.One poster

🍅 62%★ 5adventure · action · science fiction

The same mix in both: momentum, then scale

The difference: Trades the paranoia of Assassin's Creed for an angle of its own

When the titular antagonist of an action game takes on physical form, it's up to the game's less powerful protagonist to save the world.

Both are built on the same subject: assassin

Natasha Romanoff, also known as Black Widow, confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises.

2013 · dir. Jon M. Chu
🍅 29%★ 5.7action · science fiction · adventureParamount+

The same preoccupation in both: assassin

The difference: Sits closer to thriller than Assassin's Creed does

Framed for crimes against the country, the G.I. Joe team is terminated by Presidential order. This forces the G.I. Joes into not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.

Bloodshot poster

One thread runs through both: memory

After he and his wife are murdered, marine Ray Garrison is resurrected by a team of scientists. Enhanced with nanotechnology, he becomes a superhuman, biotech killing machine—'Bloodshot'. As Ray first trains with fellow super-soldiers, he cannot recall anything from his former life. But when his memories flood back and he remembers the man that killed both him and his wife, he breaks out of the facility to get revenge, only to discover that there's more to the conspiracy than he thought.

Allegiant poster

Paranoid action, and it commits to that

The difference: Leans harder into mystery than Assassin's Creed does

Beatrice Prior and Tobias Eaton venture into the world outside of the fence and are taken into protective custody by a mysterious agency known as the Bureau of Genetic Welfare.

Rampage poster

🍅 51%★ 6.1action · adventure · science fictionMax

Both lean on ideas more than on adventure

Primatologist Davis Okoye shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.
