A young Russian intelligence officer is assigned to seduce a first-tour CIA agent who handles the CIA's most sensitive penetration of Russian intelligence. The two young officers collide in a charged atmosphere of trade-craft, deception, and inevitably forbidden passion that threatens not just their lives but the lives of others as well.
Of director Francis Lawrence and actress Jennifer Lawrence, producer Peter Chernin said: "Francis made three 'Hunger Games' movies with Jen, and when he read this book, he thought immediately this would be their next collaboration. From there we had to find a good match, which we did in Joel [Edgerton], who we have worked with before as well. Same with Matthias [Schoenaerts], who we've worked with. We chose to go much younger with this role than originally scripted, which we think added something very different to the dynamic with Jen." See more »

The floppy discs used by the agents may seem cumbersome and obsolete. However, in real life, as of 2018, police and military do still use floppy disk to store classify documents. Since its impossible to hack or clone a floppy without having the physical disk in hand. let alone they need a floppy drive to even read it. So its technically accurate they would go through the trouble and uses like 8 floppies for security. See more »

Alternate Versions
The UK version is cut for "strong sadistic violence" to earn a 15 certificate instead of an 18, which was done based on BBFC advice. As both countries make up the same distribution region, Ireland also received the same cut version (rated 16 for cinema and 18 on video).
The contentious scene shows Ustinov being strangled:
In the UK version, we only see a brief establishing shot where his hands are covering his throat, cutting right to a close-up of Dominika struggling but completely clean. The censored footage shows the wire cutting into Ustinov's throat for much longer, in more graphic detail after his arms hang loose, and him bleeding on Dominika's chest.
Ustinov collapsing uses an alternate shot in the UK version, and the second close-up of Dominika is digitally bloodless as with the first, but there's still blood on her chest when putting on her clothes as per the uncut version (a continuity error).
The uncut version is roughly 13 seconds longer. See more »

Red Sparrow wasn't something special at all but for sure it was a very work well film with a mystery feeling and nice plot.Jennifer Lawrence was very good though and some plot twists make the movie a very good choice for an enjoyable night.
