Factual error: When Dominica is tasked with swapping Intelligence using a laptop in the hotel, she is using floppy discs which is highly unlikely in the realm of international espionage. Not only do they not hold enough info at only 1.44MB each, but laptops have not had floppy drives for quite some years and this movie is supposed to take place in 2017.

Red Sparrow stars Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton as two people on opposite ends of the Cold War in 2017-one is a former prima ballerina turned Special Agent referred to as a "Sparrow" who uses seduction, wits and survival instincts to become effective after being forced to serve as a spy in the interest of discovering a mole, and the other is a CIA agent who is trying to protect an asset abroad-in this case, a mole inserted in the upper government of Russia. Betrayals and violence threaten both individuals as time runs out and the stakes get increasingly higher. While not as romantic as Despite the Falling Snow (2016), there is sensuality, danger and intrigue to be found. Unfortunately, Joel and Jennifers aren't given much opportunity to become romantic and perhaps the chemistry wasn't meant to be or couldn't be found...despite that, you'll be intrigued to watch for whether the Red Sparrow flies free or remains in the cage she's in.

Suggested correction: As late as 2020, police and military authorities used floppy discs to store sensitive information. They may have been obsolete and clumsy, but they cannot be duplicated unless you have the original disc and a floppy disc drive – making them doubly secure – and floppy disc drives cannot be read remotely or "hacked".
Matron: The Cold War did not end, it merely shattered into a thousand pieces.
Question: Wouldn't her freshly bleached hair go green from the chlorine?
