Red Sparrow - Movie Review


This was a well written spy, drama, thriller. The interactions between the Russians operatives and the CIA was engaging. The situation that Jennifer Lawrence's character was placed into that lead her down her road was well devised and entangling. The seductive misdirection that was used by the "Sparrows" was interesting and something you would think that a spy would use to their advantage that you don't really see written this descriptive in movies these days.


Overall we gave it a 9 out of 10 stars.

Summary:

A young Russian intelligence officer is assigned to seduce a first-tour CIA agent who handles the CIA's most sensitive penetration of Russian intelligence. The two young officers collide in a charged atmosphere of trade-craft, deception, and inevitably forbidden passion that threatens not just their lives but the lives of others as well.

Dominika Egorova, a famous Russian prima ballerina for the renowned Bolshoi Ballet, sees her brilliant career end abruptly--and as a result--she is faced with a difficult decision when her shady uncle, Vanya Egorov, sends her to serve the State. Now, as a secret agent or, a Sparrow, Dominika after intensive training to learn how to use her body as a weapon to sexually manipulate prestigious targets, is recruited to make contact with CIA Agent, Nate Nash, to reveal the identity of his unknown Russian informant. But, can the seductive operative make it out alive in a world filled with secrets and extreme danger?
