Movies that feel likeJason Bourne (2016)

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 The Grey (2012), Ender's Game (2013) and Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023). All three share Jason Bourne'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 Bumblebee (2018).

Thriller built on tension, twice over

Barney, Christmas and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks, who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney.

Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet.
