Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 15%
Critic Consensus: “Death Wish is little more than a rote retelling that lacks the grit and conviction of the original — and also suffers from spectacularly bad timing”

Critic Consensus: “Red Sparrow‘s tense, character-driven story — elevated by outstanding work from Jennifer Lawrence — help this topical spy thriller overcome its somewhat uneven narrative”
