The tiele and all the hype had me looking for an exciting tale but unfortunately, this It baby plodded along with a couple of hot sex scenes, perhaps to justify its existence. Red Sparrow begins with a lovely dance sequence, but from there it's all a downhill ride on a sled without snow to smooth it out. I've never seen or heard of a star ballerina who didn't spend practically every spare moment at home or at the studio practicing, limbering up and try new moves, usually under the tutelage of an instructor. But this gal doesn't have time for that nonsense. She's too busy doing little or nothing aside from a little sex show from time to time. Finally, after much too long a wait, she came back out and danced some more as the screen darkened. Some of course, will enjoy the film, but there are people who enjoy things like waiting for the water to boil for spaghetti; public transportation during rush hours and delay air flights to anyplace. Sorry, but that's my humble opinion.
