Red Sparrow may not be Jennifer Lawrence's best movie, or her best role. Red Sparrow is imo, Jennifer's most Entertaining movie.

I certainly value entertainment above all other qualities when volunteering for the film viewing experience. For that reason action movies have a special place in my heart, and Red Sparrow is one of my favorite action movies.

Red Sparrow chronicles the origin, recruitment, training and final product of a Russian spy and assassin. Being an American film about a Russian spy - of course there is going to be a lot of plot complexity involving espionage, counter-intelligence, mixed morality and redemption. The specifics end up pretty complex, but most importantly the story provides for outlandish, wildly entertaining scenes with Jennifer Lawrence at their center.

The way Jennifer Lawrence commits to the protagonist role is inspiring. Red Sparrow is not an easy role to take on. My understanding that some viewers really nitpicked her performance for various reasons. I would argue they are missing the point, and perhaps taking this movie a little too seriously. This isn't a role written to win awards, but it will win fans - and Lawrence fits perfectly into how this movie is presented.

Director Francis Lawrence has a track record of successful action movies. My personal favorite other than this one would be Constantine (2005). Both movies have a ton of visual flair and are enjoyable, entertaining films.

Many movies seem to restrain ideas, writing, concepts in order to emphasize safety & fairness. Red Sparrow is Not one of those movies, and I appreciate it's unrelenting approach.
