Good film but not great.Ballerina Dominika Egorova is recruited to 'Sparrow School,' a Russian intelligence service where she is forced to use her body as a weapon. This could of been one of the better spy films had the film been explored, with more character focus which might have meant a longer running time. The film has a very long running time and it is mainly focused on moving from A to C without explaining B, much of this time should have been spent at the school for the Sparrows. The characters are a key example of what is wrong with modern Hollywood storytelling, they are just too thin. I'm eager to read the book as the plot of the film is a little scarce, nearly to the point of non existent. The core storyline potential is there, but the substance is not there. Francis Lawrence has a mixed bag of films and I have this right in the Constantine bag of quality.
Lawrence commits fully to the role, you can see she is invested with the intensity she brings to the role and it is not here that fails the film.
RED SPARROW MOVIE FULL
The film is stylish but that is where it fails, the story is full of holes and we never learn a lot about the characters involved.
