The 355

What The 355 offers up is a perfect Saturday afternoon dad movie, but instead of starring Stallone or Eastwood or Bronson, it stars five women with six Oscar nominations and two wins between them. (And was written by the creator of NBCs Smash!)

This 124-minute movie is fast-paced, well-acted and asks some interesting questions about where one’s loyalty lies.

This simplistic approach, which forces an evil/ethical binary, paired with a ham-fisted dialogue, flattens the film and makes the lulls between fight scenes feel more like retribution than respite.

If you've ever seen a mediocre action movie with a surprisingly stacked cast, then you've basically seen this.

There's nothing here that Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson haven't done already but Kinberg and his nimble cast achieve such momentum that you'll probably shelve your reservations until it's all over.

Doggedly mediocre actioner The 355 is the cinematic equivalent of gathering together Formula 1's finest drivers and tossing them the keys to a Yugo.

The 355 is a mix of great elements from great spy movies, coupled with a great cast – creating a product that is significantly less than the sum of its parts.



“The 355” has an “Ocean’s Eight” vibe (2018) in that it cares more about women linking up more than the actual story when it should not have to be a choice.

The 355 left me frustrated and disappointed 
A great concept 
An excellent cast 
& terrible pacing, execution, & even one note characters.

While The 355 certainly does not bring anything electrifying to the action genre, there is something wonderful about seeing an action movie led by five women who are 38 years old or older.
