Munich. It might not be full of twists but it is a great spy movie that shows the ruthlessness and mental strain that comes with playing the spy game for too long.

If he watches "Munich", he will see what a good thriller can be.

I totally agree. The Game and The Recruit are both two fabulous movies, with great plots, that kept me hooked from the beginning to the end.

If you loved this you should definately see Mission Implossible and the Bourne Trilogy.

Judging by how you titled the thread, then off the top of my head I could remember two other spy movies with a similar rating:

Red (2010/I, 7.0/10), and "This Means War" (6.3/10).

Oddly, both have starring actors who are or have been associated with Star Trek, directly or not so much:

• Red (2010) stars Bruce Willis, Karl Urban (Dr. McCoy in Star Trek (2009)), Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, Ernest Borgnine.
• "This Means War" has Chris Pine (Star Trek (2009)) and Tom Hardy (Star Trek: Nemesis), and Til Schweiger (who played in a Star Trek spoof "(T)Raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1"). And Reese Witherspoon, Angela Bassett, and Rosemary Harris (Aunt May in Spiderman films).

"The Recruit", on the other hand, is not this glamorous pew-pew-pew thingy, but more intense, with a better story and better music (by Klaus Badelt). Not that this film somehow wouldn't want to serve its purpose...

So I guess there are also spy movie subgenres: glamorous pew-pew thingies (Bond, etc.), and those based on real life, such as possibly this, and Fair Game. The latter even more so, because it's based on actual historical events.

Twists huh? I recommend 'Wild Things' with Kevin Bacon.
