Red Sparrow

Jennifer Lawrence does very well playing a young Russian spy. There are some gruesome scenes that appear authentic to the rough and tumble of the spy game.

Firstly, Jennifer Lawerence is incredible. This movie is so worth watching, do not look at the score it's a good movie. I was engaged the entire time and loved all the twist, surprises, confronting bits, all of it.

This film is intricate and well thought out and Jennifer Lawrence shines as the star. Don't let it's long run time fool you as this is an absolute must watch when it comes to espionage thrillers. It's gory-ness and brutality is so very close to crossing the line of overdone but I would commemorate Justin Haythe strongly for his not-over-usage of sex and violence to keep the film interesting. I enjoyed this film thoroughly from beginning to end and my investment in the story and characters never once wavered. An extraordinary film that I believe deserves far more praise than it was given.

Slow, long, boring and crappy ending.

Pulpy and melodramatic, Red Sparrow is an overlong spy thriller starring the endlessly watchable Jennifer Lawrence. Although the plot is full of holes, it remains entertaining throughout its sprawling runtime. An interesting meditation on human sexuality in parts, there are some standout moments in this casserole. It’s definitely no Jason Bourne or Jack Reacher film, but it’ll do for a once through.

Best movie I have seen in a long time. Loved the plot and didn’t expect the ending at all! Such an underrated movie!

A lot of uncomfortable scenes, a somewhat confusing plot, not so interesting story or characters overall, they kept acting like she was a prodigy, yet she didn't do anything particularly special, a forced narrative of her being amazing without backing it up.

"Red Sparrow" is one of those movies I was genuinely curious about back in 2018. I never got around to seeing it and decided to check it out, as it is directed by the winning team of director Francis Lawrence and with Jennifer Lawrence in the lead. It was interesting to see this "Hunger Games" duo make a film that could fully go for the R-rating. I think when it first started out the movie was interesting. I think as it went along I started to like it less and less. The movie eventually becomes tedious and boring and I just didn't like it by the time it ended. I think Jennifer Lawrence does a decent job in the lead role, but I never really got behind her character. Overall, this is a boring and convoluted espionage movie that tries to be edgy with explicit and violent content, but ultimately is a bit of a snooze fest and a letdown.

A slow paced engaging story of a women being trained by the russian government to be a spy all the while you could never truly know what side she ill be on.
