Red Sparrow: Jennifer Lawrence with Clipped Speech

The really cool thing about Jennifer Lawrence’s new movie “Red Sparrow” is that you can watch the trailer and get the whole story without paying up.   

There’s no need to discuss the story line, most of which is borrowed from other spy films and TV shows.  Ms. “Red Sparrow” is essentially blackmailed into becoming a double agent. She’d better do it or else her desperately ill mother won’t have a doctor.

Aside from Jennifer Lawrence’s brand name, Jeremy Irons also lends his name and reputation to the project.  At least he can do accents perfectly and change personas as needed. Jennifer Lawrence’s accent, like those of the other Eastern European ‘agents,’ is tortured.  Why didn’t the fillmmakers go whole hog and hire handsome Costa Ronin and the beautiful Anette Mahendru  . Hire Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields – they might be willing to help now that they’ve shot all episodes of what will be “The Americans” last season.

Judging from the trailer “Red Sparrow,” looks like something that resembles a 2018 version of the TV drama “Man From Uncle” or perhaps “I spy.” B
