When she suffers a career-ending injury, Dominika and her mother are facing a bleak and uncertain future. That is why she finds herself manipulated into becoming the newest recruit for Sparrow School, a secret intelligence service that trains exceptional young people like her to use their bodies and minds as weapons. After enduring the perverse and sadistic training process, she emerges as the most dangerous Sparrow the program has ever produced. Dominika must now reconcile the person she was with the power she now commands, with her own life and everyone she cares about at risk, including an American CIA agent who tries to convince her he is the only person she can trust.

The couple nude scenes of Jen in this were about the only positive (a very nice positive) of this movie. Otherwise, not worth seeing.

Very disappointing to hear. My dad has read the trilogy and says the books are excellent.

Feel like I've already seen the movie (sans nude) from the awful trailer that ran in front of every movie for the past 3 months.

Oh, and in case anyone wants to know, this is basically Black Widow's origin story. Replace JLo with Scarlett and Joel Edgerton with Jeremy Renner. You get the idea.

From the trailer it looks a lot like the Bourne films.
