Jennifer Lawrence plays Dominika Egorova, the Red Sparrow who is a member of a Russian spy organization. After messing up badly as a dancer, she is invited to take part in Sparrow School. During her time there, she has to go through many trials and tribulations before going on a particular mission. That's all I can remember from this movie because I found it very hard to follow from then on.

Lawrence is once again a great actress throughout this movie. Her character's physical strength is put to the test constantly by both her allies and enemies. She is put through many disturbing and torturous practices, such as being lashed multiple times and having water get mercilessly poured down on her. This is supposed to be a sign that her body at that point belongs to the Sparrow School. After the 40-ish minute mark, I feel like the movie starts to go downhill. It becomes this complex spy thriller that I somehow had trouble following. I don't know why this was the case, but I think it's the shift in plot that did the trick.

Red Sparrow for the most part really wasn't for me. I enjoyed the first act and how it was handled. How everything was put together afterwards was very forgettable to me in the longrun.
