This isn't a bad movie, and if it were maybe a hour shorter it would have been a lot easier to watch. It's just SO long, and none of the excessive run time was spent making the characters sympathetic in anyway. I couldn't bring myself to care about any of them, and it didn't really seem like must was at stake. Red Sparrow isn't the spy-thriller the trailers make it out to be and that's not an entirely bad thing. It's an almost painfully realistic spy movie. This isn't James Bond or Atomic Blonde, and most of the actual spying is portrayed as more political in nature. I do think that the often graphic violence and sex will definitely put off some viewers, but other than being kind of uncomfortable to sit through, most of these scenes were pretty bland and too long.
