Red Sparrow begins quite interesting (and trashy) especially when Charlotte Rampling gets to the screen with a usual strong performance as a Russian spy-camp directress. But after that it is all downhill: the story gets slow and boring, Jennifer Lawrence shows only one expression on her face throughout and her wooden-faced CIA friend isn't any better. Jeremy Irons is wasted, there are lots of plot holes and the scene with the professional killer is extremely silly: if you manage to smash him in the face so that he lies on the ground you DON'T turn away from him. You use your advantage and kill him instantly. What was she taught in that camp for situations like this? And yes, there are good stories about Lawrence how she got naked for a couple of scenes but don't believe the hype: she shows some breasts but the rest was obviously done by a body double. I suggest you watch her in MOTHER! There she is great and that is also a much much better movie than this. Or if you like spy stories watch a James Bond or a Harry Palmer movie.
