Red Sparrow is built on an interesting premise, that the Russians have trained attractive young women to compromise and get secrets from western authorities. The first part of the film, taking viewers into the training school, is fascinating and well done, with great dialogue. But from there the movie, which is at least a half hour too long, devolves into a confusing plot that is near impossible to decipher. The violence is also, to my tastes, gratuitous. Some good acting, and Jennifer is gorgeous to behold, but overall a little too much goulash for me.
