If Wanted hit the spot, these will too

A hitman racing against the clock in a hyper-stylized action rush
The difference: A poison countdown gimmick, not a hidden fraternity of assassins

Relentless, brutally staged action built around a single elite operative
The difference: A hostage-rescue mission, no secret guild pulling the strings

One thread runs through both: death of father
The difference: Easier on the momentum than Wanted

A quiet man's hidden lethal skill unleashed against corrupt forces
The difference: A vigilante-for-hire premise, not inheriting a secret bloodline

A stylized hitman navigating corruption and betrayal on his own terms
The difference: Border cartel politics, no hidden fraternity pulling the strings

Relentless, claustrophobic action built around a single desperate fight
The difference: A prisoner-transport siege, no assassin fraternity or hidden legacy

A hitman's past catching up with him in one long, relentless night
The difference: A father-son survival story, not a secret assassin brotherhood

Big, relentless action chaos fueled by betrayal and revenge
The difference: A sprawling car-family saga, not one office worker's awakening

Kinetic and tense in the same breath

A stylish assassin pulled back into a secret organization's grip
The difference: Underworld code-of-honor rules, not a fraternity of hidden killers

A disgraced fighter finding purpose through violent, relentless payback
The difference: A cop's redemption arc, not an office worker discovering hidden powers

Both are built on the same subject: revenge
The difference: Trades the melancholy of Wanted for an angle of its own
