OUR REVIEW

This is a Brutally Violent Spy Thriller with a Prima Ballerina in Modern-Day Moscow whose Career ends abruptly after a Nasty Onstage Injury. She is sent to a “Whore School“, where a Matron trains “Sparrows“, Secret Agents taught to wield Seduction as a Weapon to extract Information“¦“¦“¦ There´s a lot of torture in this Movie, and a Good Deal of Rape and Sexual Assault.
Red Sparrow spends a lot of time bouncing back and forth and this is an Adult Thriller for Adults. It´s not a Spoiler to say that the Heroine winds up reclaiming some Semblance of the Power that Men are constantly trying to strip from her, though it´s a Problem that Dominika´s Journey is framed as empowering.
