In the modern era of limited attention span and dependency on special effects, this movie is misplaced. Red Sparrow depends on story diversity , individual character performance and tasteful scenery without enhancement from computers. As I said.. a misplaced movie. This is a film that almost feels European and coming from another decade; in the best sense possible. I could follow the words of others and say the well repeated poem, "poor character development, holes in the plot, thin characters".. But I will say an honest, uninfected and unbiased opinion; This movie worth's seeing; It is slowly pulling you towards it's end.. but the pull is magnetic and incrementally strong. A fine movie to say the least.
