The 355

POSITIVES

  • If you’re looking for a traditionally entertaining spy movie then this one will help past the time. 

  • Action set pieces are solid, and features some good chase sequences.

  • The main draw of this movie are the chemistry, dynamics, and charm of the four leads in Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong'o, Diane Kruger, and Penélope Cruz. It’s fun seeing their characters go through this movie, and I legitimately wouldn’t mind seeing more films featuring them. 

  • It’s always enjoyable seeing Jessica Chastain doing physical combat and being badass. 

  • I dug the movie’s conceit of having multicultural characters showcasing many different languages, which includes featuring different world locations. 

NEGATIVES

  • It’s generally unremarkable and probably disposable of a spy action flick, with your familiar plot tropes and cliches. 

  • Certain plot points come off as artificially coincidental and some plot reveals were just too obvious to offer any legitimately fun surprises. 

  • Kinda wished there were more innovative action set pieces. 

  • Fan Bingbing’s character seemed unnaturally included with the group, and a rather underwritten role at that. 

  • The epilogue conclusion comes off as dumb and patronizing.
