For the most part this is a perfectly enjoyable though undistinguished drama, but things step up a gear near the end.

This is a slickly made thriller that achieves most of the objectives it sets out to accomplish.

‘Sparrow’ is the archetypal Curate’s Egg, a film that fuses together precious few moments of brilliance with a heavy dose of lethargy, rendering the finished article difficult to digest.

The unrealistic and slightly uncomfortable relationship that is the film’s centre never lets the film be anything more than a watchable film from a director who more should be expected from.
