Jennifer Lawrence gives a star performance as a Russian spy driven by survival in an espionage thriller that's (gratifyingly) more talk than action.
2593d ago
It helps that Ms. Lawrence, like all great stars, can slip into a role as if sliding into another skin, unburdened by hesitation or self-doubt. Craft and charm are part of what she brings to this role, as well as a serviceable accent, but it’s her absolute ease and certainty that carry you through Red Sparrow.
2593d ago
While Red Sparrow ultimately doesn’t earn its all-consuming, grueling dourness, there are a few thrills to be had, and following the best performance of her career last fall, it’s certainly another fearless step forward for Jennifer Lawrence.

Jennifer Lawrence tweaks her action-heroine steeliness in the half-trashy Red Sparrow

Like some nefarious KGB amnesia serum, Red Sparrow mostly evaporates from your memory five minutes after you walk out of the theater.

Red Sparrow never gives fateful or conspicuous weight to all the breadcrumbs that point toward its long game.
2593d ago
When Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence) has her promising ballet career cut short, she’s blackmailed by her uncle into becoming a sexually manipulative ‘Sparrow’ for the Russian intelligence agency. Her first job: to keep tabs on CIA Agent Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton), who’s made contact with a mole in Moscow.

The Oscar-winning actor stars as a seductive assassin in a strange, yet often flatly directed, film that boasts surprisingly extreme sex and violence but also a wealth of bad accents
2593d ago
Jennifer Lawrence is meant to be the literal and figurative honeytrap of “Red Sparrow” — her celebrity will draw in unwitting audiences — but ultimately, the film lacks a stickiness to keep one sweetly engrossed and leaves the viewer with little more than a flavorless shrug.
2593d ago
Jennifer Lawrence is tied to a chair, beaten and tortured. She is the victim of rape and attempted rape. She is forced to strip naked in private and in public. She is slashed, stabbed and has a gun put to her head.

“Red Sparrow” Suggests Spycraft Is About Nothing More Than Turning Dudes On
2593d ago
But that's not enough, especially since Lawrence's efforts at a glacial aloofness just read as boredom, and are boring. Coming so close on the heels of another clumsy female-led spy adaptation, Atomic Blonde (which at least had the good grace to be stylish in its stupidity), Red Sparrow plummets to Earth.
2593d ago
Glum, protracted, and needlessly nasty.
2593d ago
Jennifer Lawrence stars as a Russian spy trained to use her body to help the motherland.
2593d ago
“Do you know how long it takes to peel the skin from a human body?” a torture-happy Russian goon asks in “Red Sparrow.” I imagine it feels about as long as sitting through this atrocious spy thriller, in which Jennifer Lawrence plays a prima ballerina who goes to whore school.
2593d ago
This tale of espionage should have stayed classified.
