"Red Sparrow" (2018)

Look, you get to see Jennifer Lawrence's thick tits and in some shots if slowed down her snatch. And that's what they want.
This movie isn't horrible. It's not good. It just...is. It's DEFINITELY better than "Atomic Blonde" which sells itself as a female James Bond. There isn't a man alive who couldn't beat the ever loving shit out of Charlize Theron. But Hollywood wants you to believe that. Meanwhile, Big Cans Lawrence is an operative spy. The type of spy that looks at shit and actually evaluates what she's looking at. I'd like a moment where she maybe has a longer window to be a true spy, or that her training really involved serious stakes. But as it were, it's not bad like the rest of the movies people are salivating over. Sorry friends, it's much more entertaining than the ever Oscar winner out there now. But it's also corny. I recall the story was about a double agent. Or was she a triple agent. It's a brutal world, yet we're not entirely sure what she's being trained for other than what the "educator" tells us. It's still vague. And we still hate the Russians. I find them funny, but I may be the only one.
The American equivalent is a C.I.A. agent who allowed a Russian mole hide out. This the man both sides want. But for obviously different reasons. What is curious is that I recall a movie called "The Sum of All Fears." Which is a Tom Clancy story about the early days of Jack Ryan. When he was farting around with the Russians. There was a mole there too feeding the Americans information. This was so that both sides didn't nuke each other. This movie shares the same DNA. But there is also a love story that falls miserably short. Sorry, but Joel Edgerton is poorly casted. Guess they blew their payroll on Jen Lawrence.
What ends up happening is very far-fetched but based on a true story. The brutality of the Russians are done in a very comical way. I'm not entirely sure what era we're in. But it does feel like we're back in the 80's.
Anyway, go see it for Jennifer Lawrence spreading herself out when she can. It's great to see her be that accessible to being our whore. For that reason, I recommend.
