Jennifer Lawrence stars as a Russian spy working undercover in America in “Red Sparrow.” Director Francis Lawrence (“I am Legend” 2007) and screenwriter Justin Haythe rely too much on gratuitous sex and violence, leaving a promising storyline behind (adapted from the 2013 novel by Jason Matthews); it gets lost in the shuffle.
Lawrence and the supporting cast did their part in delivering good performances. They include Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeremy Irons, Ciaran Hinds, Joely Richardson, Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Bill Camp. Peter Chernin was the producer for this unwatchable bomb from 20th Century Fox.
