I loathe seeing reviews claiming a movie like Red Sparrow is "boring." I've seen this same word come up repeatedly, "boring, boring, boring." Doesn't matter the movie, there's always a handful of dimwits who cannot wait to bemoan their boredom. Red Sparrow isn't Marvel-exciting (forgive the compassion) but it is the antithesis of boring. I rather enjoyed watching Francis Lawrence play in this gritty arena of suspenseful dread and violence. I don't know what it will take to stimulate the porn and video game dulled synapses of these basement-dwelling entertainment burnouts (maybe a job or a trip outside, perhaps?) but see their petty, shallow attempts at derision for what they are; the desperate, attention-seeking whines of the non-achiever trying-and failing-to come across as edgy, avant-garde or beyond impressing. You bore me, neckbeards, you bore me. If you don't like the film for other reasons, have at it, but for heaven's sake don't be deceived by this "boring" drivel. What amateur bile.
