Red Sparrow impressions?

I felt that Eye in the Sky (which I viewed twice in the theater) proved respectable and perhaps a little above average, but the movie was too pedantic—it played too much like an attempt to educate viewers about all the pros and cons of using drones and the aspects that factor into such decisions. And, yes, you want such a movie to be instructive in a geopolitical, logistical, and even ethical sense, but not to the point of feeling like an instructional manual, one that saps much of the situation's spontaneity. 

Yet the movie was worth seeing and respectable visually while providing some suspense and certainly quite a bit of balance. Its greatest contribution may have been its ability to convey the inherent paradoxes and tragedy of such a weapon, which transcend the typical hawk-or-dove types of debates.
