I'm not trying to be ignorant, but prior to The Bourne Identity what was the last intelligent, espionage, 1 main character-driven, thriller type of movie to be released?
There have been a ridiculous amount of movies since then that I can't help but immediately compare to the Bourne films upon seeing them, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a predecessor in the past couple decades to compare Bourne to off the top of my head. What am I not thinking of?
Possibly North by Northwest?
You probably wont find any exact pre-Bourne examples because of how advanced it is. But if you wanna level the playing field and include movies that were advanced for their time and included the same themes, there's some out there.
edit-nevermind, just noticed you said "last".
