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.

Other mistake: Dominica breaks her left leg and then holds her crutch (and the golf club) in her left hand. This is a frequent Hollywood mistake. If you are using a walking stick or a crutch, you hold it on the strong side, then the natural swing keeps it in sync with the injured leg and improves balance.

Question: Wouldn't her freshly bleached hair go green from the chlorine?

Answer: Chlorine can turn bleached blonde hair a shade of green. Pouring apple cider vinegar over hair before swimming can help prevent it changing. However, being as this is a movie, realistic details like this are ignored for the sake of storytelling.
