The robust plot ... keeps one riveted through the twists and turns, even as it challenges viewers' sensibilities with disturbing scenes of sexual assault and brutality.

Dominika's tendency to carry on and keep seducing even when surrounded by absurdity and implausibility becomes an unwitting metaphor for Red Sparrow's failed ambitions. The cast groans with heavyweights who labour on.

That level of sophistication, and the need to really pay attention, make Red Sparrow feel far more like a grown-up September release than one hitting theaters in early March.

A guy's fantasy of an empowered woman's story. She's smart! She's capable! She's sexy! She's nude! She's degraded! Wait...

Red Sparrow couldn't be more timely. If only it were a better movie.

Lawrence had a great chance to register a new female action hero into the modern-day canon. What an opportunity missed.

Red Sparrow is stylish and tense enough, but the writing is run-of-the-mill and the film lacks the soul of something like the Nikita movies.

Red Sparrow is like 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,' but only if it were directed by Showgirls-era Paul Verhoeven. That's something of a compliment, but it's also a warning.

Explicit and boundary-pushing. Engrossing for audience members unafraid of edginess.

Lurid but not quite trashy thriller from director Francis Lawrence, who puts his Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence through trials that never made it into their previous, PG-13 collaboration.

"Red Sparrow" is Lawrence's show, and she navigates the role with steely grace and unwavering courage.

It's the centerpiece of high-gloss, highly sexualized espionage claptrap with an overlay of faux female empowerment: Dominika is pretty much an equal-opportunity scourge.
