Red Sparrow 2018

I'm surprised at the number of positive to almost glowing reviews. While the end is a great twist, I'm not sure it makes up for the rest of the film. Far too long, and the terrible accents were incredibly disappointing and distracting (perhaps, hire an actor that actually speaks the language and can act?!). I never bought Jennifer Lawrence as a spy/ballerina/deadly weapon of the state, it just never felt plausible. With so many incredible movies out, unless you're a die-hard Lawrence fan or Russian-moviephile, don't go out of your way to watch this one.

@missaddkt I totally agree with you.
Also, being someone who uses the Russian language as first language, I actually even felt offended by the horrible accents. There are so many English-speaking actors who would have made a perfect fit for the roles, think of Olga Kurylenko, Oksana Lada, or Mila Kunis, as examples for the role of Dominika.
