BACK IN THE EARLY ’90S, THE END OF THE COLD WAR was a win for global peace but a serious blow for Hollywood espionage films. Without the hammer-and-sickle menace of the Soviet Union, we had to scramble to find new bogeymen. But now, with American democracy under siege from old foes once again, we suddenly find ourselves living in the brave new world of Cold War 2.0. As up-to-the-minute as the Mueller investigation, Red Sparrow couldn’t be more timely. If only it were a better movie.
