How about the espionage plot in Cardinals?

There are ups and downs in the plot and a strong sense of rhythm. I don’t feel any plot is superfluous. I thought it was two hours long before, but now it doesn’t seem to be long at all, and the film can grab the attention of the viewers, and it hurts in many places. Deep down, it's too cruel to watch.

After watching it, I really like the heroine very much. She is a woman with strong endurance. She has faith, reason, and her own judgment. It made me think for a while and think of some things in the past. In addition, I like her dress, hairstyle, words and deeds, all love and fall in love with this character.

    One star is given to the big cousin's figure, especially the chest-talented actor. In recent years, I don't know why. After that, let's act well all day long. The brainwashing level of feminist speech is one ivy worse than Miss Watson's. Fortunately, Rooney Mara didn't take this film. Otherwise, I might be eating pie in the kitchen all night.

    From "Mother! "To "The Cardinals", the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the script is getting worse and worse. The big cousin has gone farther and farther in the road of hitting the awards.

Red Sparrow quotes

  • Matron: [to assembled class] From this day forward, you will become Sparrows. Weapons in a global struggle for power. You have been selected because of your beauty, because of your strength. And, in some cases, because of your vulnerability.

    [clearly meaning Anya]

    Matron: Katya, Viktor, come here please.

    [Dominika and Viktor obliges]

    Matron: Here we deal in psychological manipulation. You'll be trained to determine a target's weakness, to exploit that weakness through seduction, and to extract information.

    [to Dominika and Victor:]

    Matron: Take off your clothes.

    [Viktor starts undressing, but Dominika doesn't react]

    Matron: Your body belongs to the State. Since your birth, the State nourished it. Now the State asks something in return.

    [still Dominika hesitates]

    Matron: You must learn to sacrifice for a higher purpose... To push yourself beyond all limitations. Forget the simple morality with which you were raised. Or was it pride? In my experience, the proud are the first to fall. Viktor, put on your clothes.

  • Dominika Egorova: Call Zakarov. Tell him... I have what he wants. I have the name of the mole.

    Russian Ambassador: [obviously self-serving] Why don't you tell me? And I'll pass it on.

    Dominika Egorova: [scoffs] Listen to me very carefully. You are an errand boy. I have an errand. You will call Zakarov, you will tell him to make a trade. Me for the mole. Once it is arranged, I will give the name to Zakarov personally. Do this right, Mr. Ambassador, and I might even tell them this was your idea.

    Russian Ambassador: [gets up laboriously] I'll see what I can do.
