Just saw "Red Sparrow"

If you are a fan of great spy literature, you want to see this movie.

The theatre was fairly packed, a bit noisy, but not a peep once the action started moving.

Stunned silence and a few "WOWS!" at key moments!
This is NOT a kids movie, fair warning.

Do not believe the lukewarm reviews, if you are a Jason Bourne, LeCarre, Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum fan, this movie will blow you out of your socks.

Better than even the original French version of "Le Femme Nikita", which is saying a lot.

Lawrence's uncle in the movie resembles a young Vladimir Putin. Coincidence?

And, if I may be so bold, the movie is a moving salute to the real men and women in intelligence, who will no doubt love this movie.

Don't miss it!

if you're going to knock on her character's door, you better be wearing body armor and using a long stick!
