A sexually-charged spy thriller that had the potential to rival Bond and Bourne gets completely misinterpreted

The first decade of the 21st Century’s contributions to the spy genre were dominated largely by the three JBs; with James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Jack Bauer setting the template everyone else would largely adhere to. There are of course exceptions to the rule – with Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt the most notable – but Red Sparrow had the potential to do something different.

The Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence reunited with star and namesake Jennifer to bring the literary adaptation to the big screen, and it fared reasonably well at the box office after bringing in over $150 million on a budget hovering around the $70 million mark, even if critics and audiences alike were left feeling a little cold.
