Can anyone name any other movies like this?


I try to find dvds that my parents (early 50s) would like and they love a good (crime) thriller. The Departed would be perfect if it wasn't so full of swearing and violence. They liked this one. Others I can think of are Perfect stranger, 16 blocks, Minority Report, Insomnia etc. Im not sure how the USA rating system works but definitely not R rated movies. Thx

In the Line of Fire with Clint Eastwood is the closest thing around i think,, deals with sEcret SErvice, and Clint's failure to protect Kennedy, but he get's another chance, with the current president.

works for me

It's not about the Secret Service but it deals with treason, Breach was a great movie and I think your parents will like.

pizza and beer diet is as worthless as a room full of happy birthday cards at a funeral

By the sounds of it your parents like the same sort of films as mine, so i'd reccommend these;


Along Came a Spider with Morgan Freeman

The Bone Collector - Denzel Washington.

Inside Man - Denzel Washington

Just watch 24, its like this movie but alot better. Kiefer Sutherland is basically Jack Bauer in this movie lol.

Go for 24, Your parents would probably really like season one of '24'.

And "Enemy of the State" is a good rewatchable one.

XIII is another movie of this genre too.

I rate it as good as Enemy of the State although it's completely different story type.
