Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment brings the smart and sexy spy thriller, Red Sparrow, starring Jennifer Lawrence, onto DVD and Blu-Ray. Check out out the bonus material and see how Jason Matthews’s bestselling novel became a blockbuster movie.
Dominika (Lawrence), a former ballerina, finds herself forced to enter the Sparrow School. This institution happens to be a government program that thrusts her into a treacherous espionage game. She emerges as a lethal agent, but is trapped in a deadly world she desperately wants to escape.
Here are 5 reasons why you should get Red Sparrow on DVD:
5) La Femme Nikita!
This is La Femme Nikita for a new generation of movie lovers! Jennifer Lawrence shows off her versatility as she plays a seductive temptress, a cold-hearted murderer, and a strong fighter. Director Francis Lawrence re-teams with his Hunger Games starlet for another book-to-screen adaptation.
4) The Ensemble Cast!
What really makes the movie worth-watching is seeing a bunch of great actors using accents other than their own. On the American side, you have Joel Edgerton as CIA agent Nate Nash and Mary-Louise Parker as a scene-chewing Senator. Then you have Jeremy Irons and Ciaran Hands, who were both in Justice League, on the Russian side of things.
3) Charlotte Rampling!
In the Sparrow program, young men and women are trained to use sex and desire as weapons in their spy games. Lawrence holds her own with old-school powerhouse Charlotte Rampling, who plays a take-no-prisoners teacher.
2) It Can Be Both!
The spy thriller is more timely than ever, especially since production took place before the 45th’s collusion became even more apparent. Overall, Red Sparrow manages to balance being a brutal butt-kicking flick and a great showcase for Lawrence to insert herself into more adult roles, much like Mother!.
