KnockturnaLIST: 10 Films to Look Out for in 2018

9. Red Sparrow

Action thrillers about Russian spies are bound to be worth investigating, and this picture doesn’t appear to be any different. Jennifer Lawrence is a kind of neo-KGB spy who uses every bloody trick to get results, not limited to sex and violence. She must go after a CIA agent, played by Joel Edgerton, which could mean the destruction of both world powers. At this point in our rocky relationship with Russia, we could use a Skyfall-meets-The Manchurian Candidate. In theaters March 2.
