Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

Dominika (Jennifer Lawrence), a Russian ballerina, suffers a career-ending injury. Unable to support herself and her mother, she finds herself recruited into Sparrow School, a sadistic training facility for secret agents that teaches her to use her body and mind as deadly weapons. She emerges as the most dangerous Sparrow the program has ever produced, and her mission is to manipulate a CIA operative named Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton) who has information regarding a high-ranking Russian mole. Who can she trust in this world of secrets and seduction? And more importantly: who can really trust Dominika? This sexy and dangerous spy thriller, adapted from the novel by Jason Matthews, also stars Charlotte Rampling, Matthias Schoenaerts, Mary-Louise Parker, Ciarán Hinds, Joely Richardson, and Jeremy Irons. Director Francis Lawrence previously worked with Jennifer Lawrence (no relation!) on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 and Part 2. From Sparrows to Mockingjays, this whole bird theme really seems to work for those two….

Glum, protracted, and needlessly nasty.

This dark, meandering and cliche-ridden bummer starring a trying-hard Jennifer Lawrence tries to reach for a cool and stylish look at contemporary spycraft but often falls victim to cartoon violence and a muddled story. The creators may call it erotic but it’s as erotic as a visit to the dentist.

Lawrence (and his star, Jennifer Lawrence) want to leave no doubt that this is the lurid, infuriating stuff of the adult-minded, drenched in sophistication and pain—much like Lawrence’s dystopic vision for The Hunger Games, only anchored in the hyperreal world of the New Cold War we may be starting to realize isn’t “new” at all.
