I am surprised that the reviews were so bad.

The movie is about this empowered girl, who will make any sacrifice to provide confort for her sick mother. She enlists in a "red sparrow" program where atteactive Russians are trained to spy by engaging in sex with people from both genders in order to gather intellingemce and documents. They have to abandon any moral to serve their leader, while the CIA and NSA are aware of thos operatives, but they are human as well and always follow for honey traps.

It is like a female James Bond, a great seducer and manipulative operator
