Charlotte Rampling brings an unsettlingly cool demeanor to what is ultimately a fairly lifeless spy movie. She portrays the head of a school where Jennifer Lawrence, playing the former ballerina and now agent "Dominika," trains in utilizing seduction as a tool for conflict. Following an uncomfortable initial sequence, she finds her footing and begins pursuing her CIA objective, "Nash" (Joel Edgerton). Predictably, things aren’t simple; allegiances are questioned, Dominika struggles to determine who is trustworthy, and – yes, the plot does feel somewhat recognizable. I found myself constantly thinking of “Hunger Games” throughout much of the film, and the graphic nature of the sexual violence became tiresome—leaving the rest of the story feeling lifeless, quite dull, and repetitive as she attempts to set a trap for her target and uncover his Soviet contacts. The pacing felt off, and at more than two hours and fifteen minutes, it seemed to crawl once we figured out what was going on. Joel Edgerton performs adequately, and Matthias Schoenaerts’ presence adds some intricacy to the storyline, but otherwise, this is a lengthy and rather uninspired effort from an actress who isn't performing at her peak, telling a story that certainly doesn't resemble John le Carré.
