Red Sparrow
Seduce. Deceive. Repeat.
Dominika Egorova is many things. A devoted daughter determined to protect
her mother at all costs. A prima ballerina whose ferocity has pushed her body
and mind to the absolute limit. A master of seductive and manipulative combat.
When she suffers a career-ending injury, Dominika and her mother are facing a
bleak and uncertain future. That is why she finds herself manipulated into
becoming the newest recruit for Sparrow School, a secret intelligence service
that trains exceptional young people like her to use their bodies and minds as
weapons.
After enduring the perverse and sadistic training process, she emerges as the
most dangerous Sparrow the program has ever produced. Dominika must now
reconcile the person she was with the power she now commands, with her own life
and everyone she cares about at risk, including an American CIA agent who tries
to convince her he is the only person she can trust.
Critic Reviews:
- " Lawrence is allowed to let her rich talents as an actor breathe life
into a character that might have otherwise been played as shallow and far less
interesting. " – Steven Prokopy
- " This movie is dark. " – Andrew Galdi
- " Red Sparrow is a dense, thoroughly adult espionage tale, the likes of
which are rarely seen at the multiplex. " –
Dan Scully
