Review of Red Sparrow (2018) by Ming Siu G — 26 Mar 2018
It's a trashy B-grade premise that desperately wants to be an Important Film, and so takes itself way too seriously to be interesting. It really needed a Verhoeven at the helm, someone who wasn't afraid to push buttons and sensibilities in the service of providing lurid pulpy entertainment.
Apart from the multiple twists in the final act, it's pretty dull. Still, you can't say Lawrence isn't committed.
