There is nothing like a good spy thriller to get the adrenaline pumping on a lazy night. For over half a century now, stories in the genre have been dazzling audiences across the globe. Speaking of which, the spy genre has its roots in the political intrigue of war, when shadows lurked around every corner and even the friendlier faces screamed danger. Early movies like James Bond capitalized on this atmosphere of suspicion and paranoia and kick-started a trend of globe-trotting adventures where suave heroes fought and schemed their way around.
