This is a movie with a very good argument, a credible script and fine acting overall. I think that Edgerton was not the best choice for the male lead.
Jennifer Lawrence plus a fine ensemble cast make for a riveting spy thriller. You'll be glad you watched this movie, very entertaining and suspenseful.
A VERY VERY VERY Action packed story and amazing cast! Very good choice of cast.
Blessed with wonderful cinematography and locations that feel authentic, "Red Sparrow" is the story of a Russian ballerina who becomes an operative of the SVR, the Russian counterpart to the CIA. Jennifer Lawrence plays the title role of Dominika, who dances for the Bolshoi until an unfortunate accident.
There is abundant and unnecessary use of sexuality in the movie. Women are portrayed as having value in work just because of their appeal to men's carnal apetite.
I think is a very good movie that reflects the today's society. Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton are fantastic in this movie as Dominika Egorova, a former ballerina turned spy with a short temper but determine to do everything it takes to get the job done and who cares a lot about her family and Nate and Nate Nash respectively, a CIA operative who cares a lot about Dominika and his co-workers and who is known as a good agent.
