I am confused as to how this abomination of a film was approved by a major studio. The only possible explanation I can think of as to why this happened, is because some Hollywood executive saw Jennifer Lawrence's name and said, "Well this should make money." Let's start with the one thing that isn't terrible, Jennifer Lawrence. Now she surely isn't good in the movie, but she isn't awful, and that's about the only good thing I can say about this film. Red Sparrow is atociusly written, horrifically directed, poorly acted, and poorly shot. This filmn fails on nearly every level, the score is awful as well. Much of the dialogue is forced and cheesy, and doesn't fit the film's attempted tone. This film also had a few attepmpts at humor, and failed at every single one of them. Red Sparrow is also neelessly brutal and violent. Violence, if used correctly, can greatly improve the effecvtiveness and punch of a film. Red Sparrow is violent for no reasn, and borders on torture porn. Do not watch this film. Everything about it is bad, and it is increibly boring.
