Review: RED SPARROW



Jennifer Lawrence reunites with Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence in spy-agent thriller Red Sparrow which will be shown in cinemas February 28.
Jennifer Lawrence stars as Dominika Egorova in “Red Sparrow,” who is drafted against her will to become a “sparrow,” a trained seductress in the Russian security service. Dominika learns to use her body as a weapon, but struggles to maintain her sense of self during the dehumanizing training process. Finding her power in an unfair system, she emerges as one of the program’s strongest assets. Her first target is Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton), a CIA officer who handles the agency’s most sensitive infiltration of Russian intelligence. The two young operatives fall into a spiral of attraction and deception, which threatens their careers, allegiances and the security of both countries. Based on the book by former CIA officer Jason Matthews, “Red Sparrow” reunites Jennifer Lawrence with her “Hunger Games” director, Francis Lawrence with with Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker and Jeremy Irons rounding out the cast.

Spending her life under Matron would demand greater thinking of what people actually want seeing yourself involved. What I like about it is how Dominika was able to control American and Russian governments into her hands and get what she wants at the end.

Red Sparrow's plot would turn you around and will twist you on your seats as the bloodbath after an erotic encounter is openly shown. From what I think, Red Sparrow made an exploitation of Jennifer Lawrence because of the nudity it displays. JLaw might have agreed on the terms and the storyline but I think, she as an advocate of the "Me Too" movement, I wonder how she felt while shooting this, not to mention about the nude photos that surfaced years ago where she felt really violated of its spread. But that's up to her and decisions have been made and she's mature enough to decide on her own.
If you're looking for intense action, Red Sparrow will not provide car chases but play on your mind with excitement. This is also Jennifer Lawrence's most brutal and daring movie yet. Rated R-16.


“Red Sparrow” opens February 28 in cinemas nationwide from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
