Red Sparrow

The only difference between female spy and prostitute is one gets to garrote their client afterwards.

For more on the sexual exploits of espionage look no further than this thriller.

Dominika's (Jennifer Lawrence) uncle recruits her to join Russian Intelligence after she injures herself at ballet and is unable to support her ailing mother.

In spy school, she and other students are taught the art of seduction in its most brutal forms. Obstinate throughout the entire process, Dom eventually graduates to Sparrow status and is assigned to the US to beguile a CIA agent (Joel Edgerton) for Intel.

Slow, convoluted and graphically violent, both physically and sexually, this tepid adaptation of the bestseller also lacks chemistry between leads and spends an inordinate amount of time on rape and potential rape situations. Meanwhile the action is limited and unsettling.

Incidentally, suave male spies also have to sleep with fat, old politicians. Red Light
