Ive seen a few dodgy reviews for Red Sparrow, but they are all wrong.

If there is one Actress who has improved from film to film it has to be Jennifer Lawrence. She first showed promise in the underrated Winters Bone but then for me went on a downward spiral (with the exception of fantastic Silver Linings Playbook) with the Hunger Games films. However since she made Joy in 2015, the only way has been up with her performances in Passengers, The barking mad Mother! and now Red Sparrow. She seriously deserves another oscar soon.

This film is a no punches pulled thriller about seductive spys in Russia. Lawrences character is forced into recruiting to help save her sick mother and her first target is a US CIA agent, played by Joel Edgerton. Nothing is what it seems however, and as the 2 of them forge a relationship, they discover lots of secrets. The question is Who will betray who?

Its very violent but the film is shot beautifully and for those who like a good thriller, its seriously worth watching.
