I really enjoyed the spy thriller Red Sparrow, although around the edges it may have some issues, at its core it provides the investment in the characters that make for a movie to get invested in.

Lawrence was pretty good as was Joel, but the guy who plays the uncle (I really should look that up!) was a stand out. Wonderfully sinister without being cartoonish about it.

The length of the film works in its favour as there is time for both character and plot development.

The film has intrigue, action, sex and drama, what else does a movie of this ilk need to provide?

A really good show that's worth watching :)
