Francis Lawrence and Jennifer Lawrence reunite for a sexually charged and bloody mammoth of a spy thriller. Part James Bond, part Basic Instinct, but thrilling in all equal measure, RED SPARROW does not shy away from the gruesomeness of the espionage service. J-Law plays a cat-and-mouse game with the CIA and Moscow intelligence as a hardened state trained femme fatale.
Jennifer Lawrence delivers her most mature work in years after languishing in the ponderous Hunger Games. Joel Edgerton shows his range as a leading man who is not a villain for once.
Just when you think you know what's going on, RED SPARROW throws you for a loop.
