New fad - Slick thrillers

[hatter]

I must confess that after watching The Bourne series films, I am hooked to thrillers. :2guns:

I have watched many A+ films, but for last one week or so I am in mood for just pure, unadulterated fun even if it comes from films like Hitman which were trounced by critics as cheap.

Of course, I know Bourne series is just too good, IMO better than Bond films, and their pace is amazing. It is difficult to get similar action thrillers but what is harm in asking

So tell me the films similar to Bourne series.

They should have fast paced action, should be modern and should be shot slickly. I have already watched Shooter, Bond Series, MI Series, Hitman. And I don't want to consider something released before 1995 unless it's just too good. hyeah:

Over to you...
