Movies like Red Sparrow bring the same stylish suspenseful tension as the 2018 Jennifer Lawrence spy thriller. Jennifer Lawrence stars in Red Sparrow as a Russian ballerina-turned-spy, and the blend of psychological manipulation, brutal training sequences, and Cold War intrigue makes for a dark, seductive watch. It’s a story where trust is a weapon, loyalty is fluid, and power comes at a steep price. With its mix of espionage, political mind games, and a lead character who turns the tables on her handlers, Red Sparrow offers a very specific brand of spy thriller - one that feels as cerebral as it is deadly.
