G.I. Jane & Red Sparrow

Rotten Rewind

This week, we're reminding you that Jennifer Lawrence once starred in a failed franchise starter called "Red Sparrow" in which she plays an impoverished ballerina who is recruited to become a spy for the Russian government. But before that, we're taking you all back to the halcyon days of 1997 for one of Ridley Scott's rare box office misfires, "G.I. Jane."

Are these girlboss thrillers better than their muted reputation suggests? Will a major studio ever make another big budget adult spy thriller with a bonafide movie star? When will Demi Moore get a comeback vehicle worthy of her talents? Was music video veteran Francis Lawrence too tame of a choice to tackle the inherently sleazy world of "Red Sparrow?" And most importantly, when will somebody make some nice Whore School merch we can wear?
