The Bolshoi ballerina Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence) supports her ill mother with her work. When she has an accident of the stage that ends her career, he uncle Vanya Egorov (Matthias Schoenaerts) from the Russian Intelligence offers Dominika to work for the government. She succeeds in her assignment and Vanya recruits her for the notorious Sparrow School where the women learn how to get information for the Russian intelligence using their bodies. Meanwhile the CIA operative in Moscow Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton) falls in disgrace when he creates a diversion in the Gorky Park to save the mole Marble from the police. However he convinces his superiors to let him go to Budapest to have a final encounter with Marble to indicate a new contact. Dominika is assigned to meet Nash and discover the mole´s identity in a spy cat-and-mouse game.

"Red Sparrow" is a highly entertaining spy movie with a complex story. Jennifer Lawrence shines in the lead role despite the terrible hair bangs and the absolutely lack of chemistry with Joel Edgerton. The last plotting point is absolutely unexpected and will certainly surprise the viewers. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Operação Red Sparrow" ("Red Sparrow Operation")
