PLOT

                                       Dominika is a professional Ballet dancer but an accident in her life changes the entire world of that pretty girl. This moment gives her uncle, who works with the Russian intelligence, a chance to involve in her life. The only option in her life to survive is by taking the role of a seductive spy to steal the most important information from an American spy.

MY VIEW

                                       Red Sparrow is a spy thriller movie which is based on a 2013 novel of the same name by retired CIA operative Jason Matthews. The movie is not filled with high octane action scenes instead it is filled with violent fights and nudity. But most of the violence and nude scenes are placed according to the pace of the movie. This is one of the best performances of Jenifer Lawrence, she had a different type of character in this movie, a complete survivor who will do anything to survive. I even doubted whether she belongs to good or bad side. Even though Joel Edgerton is there, it seems to be that he is shadowed by Jennifer’s performance. She did ballet and practiced a Russian accent for four months, but I didn’t felt authenticity in her Russian accents. The movie was going to end as a normal spy thriller drama, but the climax gave it a complete feel and will satisfy the viewers.

VERDICT

                                             The author of the novel himself suggested that there were schools in the Soviet Union Era which train young women the art of entrapment, the art of seduction for blackmailing intelligence targets. So, this is based on his experience as a result you will not feel this as a dystopian story. This is a thriller, it's not action, it's not gadgetry. It's a hard-R. It’s a different kind of spy film there is violence, suspense and a lot of intrigue.
