Robert Ludlum's Covert One: The Hades Factor
Based on the best-selling series by Robert Ludlum.
Stephen Dorff (Blade) and Academy Award winners Mira Sorvino (Best Supporting Actor, Mighty Aphrodite, 1995) and Anjelica Huston (Best Supporting Actor, Prizzi's Honor, 1985) star in this globe-spanning tale of action and intrigue, based upon the bestselling series written by Robert Ludlum (The Bourne Identity, The Osterman Weekend).
Colonel Jonathan Smith (Dorff) is a disease specialist and former secret agent for Covert One, an elite intelligence agency made up of political and technical experts that report directly to the President (Huston). When an unknown deadly virus begins to surface, Smith is called into action to find and isolate the source before the outbreak can endanger millions of lives.
Featuring an all-star supporting cast including Blair Underwood (Rules of Engagement) and more, it's a race against time for Covert One to stop the virus and uncover the truth behind a conspiracy at the highest and most dangerous levels of society.

Although not at the same intensity or caliber as Bourne, but The Hades Factor will keep your attention for the duration! Some of plot backgrouns is similar to Bourne (based mostly in Europe) and you may find shades of "24" in it. Hasn't checked the Season number of "24" but the plot of one season (3?) runs VERY similar to this movie.
Have always enjoyed Ludlum's books and now I look forward to reading this one (most likely this summer when there is more sun!).The truth - BondManiac
Based on Robert Ludlum's novel, The Hades Factor puts a bio-terrorism spin on a good old-fashioned spy thriller storyline for this tense TV miniseries. Stephen Dorff is top-billed as a former spy turned medical researcher who is pulled back into the espionage business when a new and mysterious disease erupts simultaneously in three military-sensitive regions. The target of the investigation centers on another covert operative (Mira Sorvino), who made off with a black-market virus in the middle of a government sting. The film's solid cast, which includes Blair Underwood and two Hustons--Danny and Anjelica (as the U.S. President)--helps the suspension of belief required for this sort of story considerably, and director Mick Jackson delivers the required amount of action at a brisk and engaging clip. Squeamish viewers should know that the outbreak scenes are particularly grisly for a television production. --Paul Gaita - Amazon.com
