* Spy thriller: In which the protagonist is generally a government agent who must take violent action against agents of a rival government or ( in recent years ) terrorists.
The subgenre usually deals with the subject of fictional espionage in a realistic way ( such as the adaptations of John Le Carré ).
It is a significant aspect of British cinema, with leading British directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Carol Reed making notable contributions and many films set in the British Secret Service.
The spy film usually fuses the action and science fiction genres, however, some spy films fall safely in the action genre rather than thriller ( e. i. James Bond ), especially those having frequent shootouts, car chases and such ( see the spy entry in the subgenres of action film ).
Thrillers within this subgenre include Spy Game, Hanna, Traitor, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Tourist, The Parallax View, The Tailor of Panama, Taken, Unknown, The Recruit, The Debt, The Good Shepherd and Three Days of the Condor.
