The Bourne Supremacy (2004) captures the action appeal of The Bourne Identity without simply imitating it. The drama streak running through both films is what puts The Bourne Supremacy at the top of any "if you liked…" shortlist.

The drama appeal of The Bourne Identity — that tense edge, the mystery — translates cleanly into Murder on the Orient Express (1974). Different setting, same essential satisfaction.

The filmmakers behind The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) clearly understood what makes action work — the same quality that keeps The Bourne Identity rewatchable. Expect the same dark rhythm, executed with a fresh angle.

Black Rain (1989) is the kind of film The Bourne Identity fans discover and immediately send to their group chat. The action overlap is real, but it's the tense emotional pull that seals the recommendation.

Much of what makes The Bourne Identity compelling — the action, the thriller — shows up in RED 2 (2013) in a slightly different form. Both films understand that funny storytelling works best when it trusts the audience.
