Alright, so the other day I was trying to find some movies similar to “The Professional” (you know, that classic with Jean Reno and a young Natalie Portman). I love that movie’s mix of action, suspense, and surprisingly touching relationships. So, I set out to find more like it.
Starting My Search
First, I fired up my go-to movie sites. Just started browsing around, looking at action and thriller categories. I spent a good hour just scrolling and reading descriptions, but nothing really jumped out at me.
Getting Specific
Then, I thought, “Okay, let’s get more specific.” I started searching for things like “movies with assassins,” “hitman movies,” and “films with mentor-protege relationships.” That helped narrow it down a bit, and I started making a list of potential candidates.

- Leon
- The Killer
- Ghost Dog:The way of the Samurai
Checking Reviews and Trailers
Of course, I didn’t just blindly add movies to my list. I checked out some reviews and watched a few trailers to get a feel for the vibe. I wanted something with that same blend of intensity and emotion, not just straight-up action. I also made to cross any movies off my list I had already seen before.
The Final List
After all that searching, comparing, and watching, I finally ended up with a solid list of movies that I’m excited to watch. It took a little bit of effort, but hey, finding good movies is a worthwhile pursuit, right?
It’s not perfect, and I’m sure there are more out there, but it’s a darn good start. I recommend using my method if you guys are looking for something specific. You will get a solid list in no time!
