Jennifer Lawrence depart away from most other roles she’s done in this spy thriller. She starts off in one of the poorer districts in Russia as a ballet dancer looking after her mother, but then he future is radically altered, causing her to take an offer that would sound crazy to most. We get to see her training, which is both surprising and not for a Russian program.
The game begins when she leaves her training behind and meets an American CIA agent. Trying to figure out who is the bad guy, who is the trader, and who’s side Red Sparrow is only half the fun. There is also a detective story in there somewhere and you will just have to see how it all ends.
Watching the movie on Blu-Ray is pretty dang cool. There are some things I missed before and I will definitely be adding this one into the rotation of films I watch. The disc pulls back the curtain on some of the behind the scenes and the how and why some of the things that made this movie a fun ride and worth a closer look with the roughly eighty minutes of features and deleted scenes.
