Surgeon, teacher, airline pilot, hedge fund manager, spy, and a long list of stressful professions that are absolutely not for me.
However! I can still appreciate a good spy thriller even though I personally cannot picture myself handling the high-stakes duties of an espionage operative. If you’re looking for an action-packed movie for your next movie night, I’ve got some recommendations that may make you want to apply for a CIA job yourself…or not. The finest spy movies offer all the thrill of secret investigations without any of the risk.
Below are 5 spy movies you should see;
- Enemy of the state
The film tells the story of a group of corrupt National Security Agency (NSA) agents conspiring to kill a congressman and the cover-up that ensues after a tape of the murder ends up in the possession of an unsuspecting lawyer. - The Courier
The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Greville Wynne, and is based on the true story of a British businessman who was recruited by the Secret Intelligence Service to be a message conduit with a Russian spy source Oleg Penkovsky (played by Merab Ninidze) in the 1960s. -
Mission Impossible fallout
Ethan Hunt and his IMF team, along with some familiar allies, race against time after a mission gone wrong. -
Bourne Identity
It stars Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, a man suffering from psychogenic amnesia attempting to discover his identity amidst a clandestine conspiracy within the CIA. It also features Franka Potente, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Brian Cox, Walton Goggins, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. -
Anna
In 1990, Anna, a young Russian beauty who has been the victim of domestic abuse, will do anything to escape the life she is trapped in. In a twist of fate, she reluctantly accepts an offer by KGB officer Alex.
The end!
