This movie was the epitome of an "okay" movie.

Everything was pretty alright. The acting, the story...the pacing, it was all...there.
If you see it, I can guarantee you that you'll end up seeing it again someday...on account of not remembering that you'd already seen it. Right up to the part where Jennifer's boobs are mooshing out the sides of that swimsuit of hers and you remember having rotated that image in and out of your spank bank for a time.

Spoilers!
What was really amazing though, was the ease in which she was recruited by the American agent. That was an amazingly smooth transition there, no real tension at all...the audience knew that she meant it, so all that was left from that point on was to see if it'd work out for her. But TWIST, she fingered her Uncle as the mole, which...I don't know, he didn't seem quite evil enough for me to feel good about that.
Sure, he was attracted to his niece, but...come on, if there was ever a niece to be attracted to...you know?

And sure, he didn't give her much of a choice in becoming a sparrow, but HE didn't have much of a choice. His superiors wanted her dead...the script demanded that he actually stick his neck out for her some there and yet we're supposed to feel her satisfaction at the end, with her snappy, "I did good, didn't I?" retort?
Yeah you did good...you made it work out, but you're also killing a guy that...whatever he did, he didn't seem overtly malicious about as much as he seemed like he was just doing what his superiors expected of him. So while I guess that was supposed to be a bit of a celebratory moment, I ended up experiencing more of a mental shoulder-shrug of, "Whelp, I guess he's pretty well f*cked."

There didn't seem to be much of a third act, she got tortured, Edgerton got tortured, we find out who the mole was (some great dialogue in that scene though), the exchange happens, oh, its her Uncle aaaaand she's now a high ranking member of some Russian intelligence agency, the end.

It wasn't a good movie at all IMO...but it wasn't a bad movie either. It was JUST enough to keep you watching in order to find out how it works out. I think this was one of the most middle-of-the-road movies I've ever seen...just perfectly "okay". Completely passable, but not much more.
All else aside though, Jennifer Lawrence is what made this movie watchable, with her big blue eyes, the legs...boobs etc. Any other lead...say Kathy Bates or whatever, and it'd have been well on the horrible side.
