2019 Rated R. An intense bloodfest by a beautiful assassin spy in Russia. Outlandish fight and gunfire scenes. Intrigue, suspense and extreme adventure action. Good acting. I liked it. Kind of a super Jameset Bondette movie .

Adult spy, romance story that I imagine a fashion model might dream of while she's stuck striking a long pose. Don't think too much about the story - turn your brain off & enjoy the action. Good dinner time entertainment. Directed well -…

I started this movie thinking it was just a B spy movie but it got better and better. Lots of intrigue and action. Good acting and storyline. They had sequences going back in time that was somewhat annoying and confusing but I enjoyed…

Derivative, if well done, another Nikita or Red Sparrow as was mentioned elsewhere. The violence was a bit over the top, as well as the lead's superiority in a melee, but my overall feeling about the film was that nothing new or…

This movie could have been nicknamed “Johnnina Wick” as far as the elaborate fight scenes go—but that’s where the similarities would end. Part of the movie experience is when everyone attempts to guess what’s going to happen next in a…
Luc Besson returns to his favourite themes from "Nikita", but with the body count increased manyfold. Sasha Luss is a worthy successor to the unforgettable Anne Parillaud (is the title a tribute?), the action is entertaining enough and the…

Nicely brutal fight scenes (anything worth doing, like breaking arms, is worth doing well) and an interesting flashback technique that allows viewers to observe events from different, revealing perspectives.
Characters though, seem to be…

I watched the special features of this film after watching the movie in 2 different sessions.
The director, Luc Besson, is wonderful. He also worked on "Lucy" and the "Fifth Element." Both of these films were awesome.
Yeah the…

I first saw the barroom fight on Youtube and looked for it at the Library. Action packed, deception, spies, CIA/KGB. Sorta confusing with the back and forth. Worth a watch.

Director Luc Besson took his original french La Femme Nikita and just moved it to Russia with another girl. The new girl is much more lethal. Besson is a really skilled action director. I guess he really wanted to revisit his girl from…
BOOTLEG LA FEMME NIKITA or BLACK WIDOW SNIPING...
I skipped RED SPARROW because I generally don't care for Lawrence, so this may be only
more of that. Don't care for Cillian Murphy either; does well enough in everything I've

I know this is a Luc Besson film so I adjusted my expectation accordingly. However, I was still disappointed. This is no Nikita, which was a much better film for what it was. The transformation of the frail lead actress to a KGB agent…

"Overall, Anna is mindless fun. There isn’t much of a story to really catch your attention or keep it. You’ll probably come for the actors and for the action and I think both of those things are positives for the most part. There are two…
