Movies about spies have been popular since the fifties until today. As technology has improved, so have techniques for creating movies. So for this genre, here are some of the best spy thrillers of this era.

When people say secret agent, they would immediately think of James Bond. The new James Bond who is portrayed by actor Daniel Craig, has been well loved by the public. So far the best 007 film of this new actor is Sky fall. In this movie, the head of MI6 is put to retirement because of a failed case that supposedly kills agent Bond. When Bond returns from the dead, they try to capture a very powerful enemy that is a threat to Great Britain. Critics loved the plot, the effects, the acting, and the action scenes.

Another famous player in the game would be Jason Bourne. The Bourne series is known for its mixture of classic secret agent action along with some traces of the fantasy genre. The best of the series would undoubtedly be The Bourne Ultimatum wherein agent Bourne is still looking for his lost memories as a highly skilled killer while another CIA agent tries to assassinate him.

The Mission Impossible series also made its way to the top of the list. Its greatest installment was said to be the fourth movie Ghost Protocol. In this film, the IMF was under attack and the Kremlin Organization was said to have something to do with it. Due to this matter, agent Hunt goes into hiding while he thinks of a way to capture the real terrorist.

Even though these popular films have stolen the spotlight, a new player has recently joined the game. The thriller movie Taken has also received many high ratings from critics and a lot of positive reviews from fans. This movie, starring Liam Neeson, is about a former CIA agent who is on a hunt to find the people who kidnapped his daughter. He travels all around Europe relying only on his instincts.

Yet another film that made it quite big in this genre is the dark action filled Munich. This movie is based on real events that transpired during the end of the Black September. During the aftermath, five highly trained agents were tasked to kill the ones who brought forth that day.

When two famous action stars collaborate to film a secret agent movie, then it will definitely be a stand out. One fine example of that is the film War starring Jet Li and Jason Statham.
