Red Sparrow

I loved the movie. Did not think it was slow. Loved the twist ending.

I like to think everything that occurred after Dominika was assigned to Nathaniel was how she wanted it to happen, with some changes, obviously, due to the need to adapt/improvise. One can dream.

Finally a good spy thriller. Just that he's not playing in the 70's is a negative point for me.
The brutality and nudity fit perfectly into the story.

I will watch this movie several times.

Definitely watch it. It's a good spy movie. When you look at it, the script is very classic, but they are very well handled. Turn it on and watch it without a second thought. Good luck with your endeavors.

This will always be the unofficial Black Widow movie for me. I loved how smart and manipulate Jennifer had to be, lacking super strength that all lead actresses get nowadays.

This was an excellent complicated spy thriller that had a very good ending that i didn't expect. Very good story, even though some people are complaining about how long it was for me i didn't event notice. Not so many action but interesting plot and psychological all the way.

Great Story based on facts, awesome presence for Jennifer Lawrence

8.3/10

I will readily admit, I was initially just interested in this movie because of Jennifer Lawrence.

The beginning was a tad bit slow, but don't let that deter you. The rest of the film you will be trying to catch up to what is going on. I will need to see this a second time to begin to understand all the intricacies of the plot, which was unpredictable (my favorite characteristic of any plot).

[spoiler]Throughout, the intentions of Dominica are never clear. She seems to genuinely serve both sides, and yet, equally betrays both sides. I don't think she cares about anyone but her mother. Even the 'love' she shows to Nate, turns out to be a means to an end. I personally loved that I could not tell what was in her head because it kept me guessing.[/spoiler]

Some of the acting felt disingenuous, but the main leads (especially Lawrence), were astonishing. The soundtrack worked well, and there really wasn't any 'fake' action to take away from a beautiful plot.

By the end of the film, you will be confused beyond all reason. Lawrence's character developed into a psychopath - a product of the system she was put in.
