Lawrence had a great chance to register a new female action hero into the modern-day canon. What an opportunity missed.March 02, 2018
Lurid but not quite trashy thriller from director Francis Lawrence, who puts his Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence through trials that never made it into their previous, PG-13 collaboration.March 02, 2018
Red Sparrow couldn't be more timely. If only it were a better movie.March 02, 2018
It's the centerpiece of high-gloss, highly sexualized espionage claptrap with an overlay of faux female empowerment: Dominika is pretty much an equal-opportunity scourge.March 02, 2018
Red Sparrow is stylish and tense enough, but the writing is run-of-the-mill and the film lacks the soul of something like the Nikita movies.March 02, 2018
The robust plot ... keeps one riveted through the twists and turns, even as it challenges viewers' sensibilities with disturbing scenes of sexual assault and brutality.March 02, 2018
Dominika's tendency to carry on and keep seducing even when surrounded by absurdity and implausibility becomes an unwitting metaphor for Red Sparrow's failed ambitions. The cast groans with heavyweights who labour on.March 02, 2018
Explicit and boundary-pushing. Engrossing for audience members unafraid of edginess.March 02, 2018
A guy's fantasy of an empowered woman's story. She's smart! She's capable! She's sexy! She's nude! She's degraded! Wait...March 02, 2018
That level of sophistication, and the need to really pay attention, make Red Sparrow feel far more like a grown-up September release than one hitting theaters in early March.March 02, 2018
Red Sparrow is like 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,' but only if it were directed by Showgirls-era Paul Verhoeven. That's something of a compliment, but it's also a warning.March 02, 2018
"Red Sparrow" is Lawrence's show, and she navigates the role with steely grace and unwavering courage.
