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….

hey siri show me a straight teenage boy's jerkoff fantasy that's been directed like an over-budget Starz rip-off of The Americans where literally nothing that happens is important but they've made sure you get to see plenty of sideboob while its star is being tortured
Laurence BarberMar 6, 2018Saw it on the big screen and very happy I did. Full-on exploitation film (with a message of course) and I love it. Knows exactly what's it's doing and why. Pulpy and fun. Highly recommended. Glass is AMAZING - the flares are to die for. Panavision Primo, C-, E-, G-Series,…
Sean BakerMay 9, 2018It's basically two hours of a woman getting repeatedly abused by men so no I didn't enjoy it.

confusing that they kept referring to joel edgerton as “the handsome american”
KYK► Gonzo's 2018 Movie Rankings I like my spy thrillers plodding, hollow, and uninteresting, with a side of awful accents, said no one ever.
GonzoJan 2, 2025A chilling and violently made thriller. The power dynamics with its inhumanity and manipulation blend love with the world of (s)e(x)spionage. The film knows what it’s doing and holds onto it firmly, yet I still felt it was missing something. Right from the start, it must…

to quote Caitlin, one of the world's greatest minds: my sincerest wish for every man currently thinking about writing a movie: please reconsider
VivianApr 29, 2025I watched for Jennifer Lawrence. I stayed for Jennifer Lawrence. I suffered for Jennifer Lawrence.
EerieMar 17, 2018Constantly torturing and assaulting your protagonist doesn’t make the audience root for her, it just makes them want to go home

- Kjuw is "meh" onRed Sparrow
I liked it in the beginning, because there was so much happening and I just thought it would be cool and interesting, but at some point the plot got really confusing and it was just overall pretty disturbing. The main issue is probably the length, shouldn’t be so long.
Argeries Pries likedRed SparrowGreat acting and a good script. The action is packed and suspenseful.
Ali campos likedRed Sparrow7.5/10 Me hubiera gustado enterarme mejor
- Charlie Mills is "meh" onRed Sparrow
Damn Jennifer Lawrence has never been as sexual as this Jesus for a 15 🤯🙊!! Anyway I wouldn’t say this film is brilliant it’s quite long 2hrs 20 is quite a drag for a film like this. The betrayals and twists in this film are shocking but yet confusing Overall 5/10 can be lower

SASyed AliThe Worst movie I ever see in my life its waist my time and money super boring 🤯😡🤬
- CTCheryl Terrell
Decent plot. could have been very good movie. The sexual parts were so explicit, it should have been rated X. Then I would have known to avoid it.
RGRick GrangerDoes not live up to the hype. I expected more
JJJohn Johnwow she looks good naked but it is very slow. Wife and I walked out of the movie. Disappointed 😣😣😣
- LBLubna Bader

MLMax LopezWhat a complete waste of time.
ANAnn Nguyenthe only good aspect of the movie was the plot twist st the end. everything else was a drag.
