I'm surprised at the number of positive to almost glowing reviews. While the end is a great twist, I'm not sure it makes up for the rest of the film. Far too long, and the terrible accents were incredibly disappointing and distracting (perhaps, hire an actor that actually speaks the language and can act?!). I never bought Jennifer Lawrence as a spy/ballerina/deadly weapon of the state, it just never felt plausible. With so many incredible movies out, unless you're a die-hard Lawrence fan or Russian-moviephile, don't go out of your way to watch this one.

@missaddkt I totally agree with you.<br /> Also, being someone who uses the Russian language as first language, I actually even felt offended by the horrible accents. There are so many English-speaking actors who would have made a perfect fit for the roles, think of Olga Kurylenko, Oksana Lada, or Mila Kunis, as examples for the role of Dominika.

Not a horrible movie, but definitely not a good one. The first half or so was kinda hard to get through and the other half was kinda hard to follow. Besides that the poor accents are a real turn off. Overall I didn’t have a terrible time, but won’t watch it again.

(And if you’re sensitive to torture scenes, like myself, maybe don’t watch it in a theater.)

_Red Sparrow_ is like commuting to work: it takes a long time to get where you already know you're going--and it feels even longer. What I wouldn't have given for an unforeseen turn.

Boring at the beginning, hard to follow at the end, and for sure not the best play of Jennifer Lawrence too. I think the director really liked to see her naked too.

Good movie. But way over long. Very slow moving, some good twists towards the end. Have to concentrate, but worth it.

That was a lot more graphic than I was expecting, but damn... it is way too long. That's not its only problem though, as the story is convoluted and hard to follow. It starts off really intriguing though, and Lawrence is great in it, so it's too bad the potential was wasted.

Good solid thriller. I like Jennifer Lawrence. I think she is a chameleon and this role proves it. Great cast, superb twists and turns, with a few fake outs (in what I thought were the culminating scenes of the film, something went sideways, and I thought, "Shoot! They just crashed the logic of the whole plot!. But I was fooled. I was wrong in what I thought had happened, and the final twist was entirely unexpected, leaving me rather impressed with the writing). I give this a 7 (good) out of 10. Nudity and sexuality.

This violent and gritty spy thriller features a wonderful Jennifer Lawrence with a faulty Russian accent. The chemistry between her and co-star Taron Edgerton is almost non-existent. After a promising beginning the films starts losing steam in the middle part before picking up speed again for the end. Even though the story makes a good attempt at being dark and inventive it gets nothing done before the final twist. I did expect more from director Francis Lawrence, now it feels just generic and bland.

Out side of the twist at the end, and some incredible intense/uncomfortable scenes, it was a very bloated movie, and I couldn't get over the accents. Why do we have an Australian playing an American, and an American, an Irish, and an Brit playing Russians?

@rlevitz I thought that's what acting was supposed to be, you act like what you are not. I guess I was wrong huh

My main problem with the movie is that it's way too long, it did not pull me in. When the charade finale played out I wasn't really paying attention any more so the ending was lost on me. Plus it has about every possible clichè about Russians you can imagine.
Jeremy Irons ans Ciaràn Hinds are wasted in their roles. I must say thought, that I think, J Lawrence did quite well.
