The 355 (2022)

My Review

“The 355” is a spy thriller film about five international female spies who work together to stop a group of terrorists from starting World War III. This movie from director Simon Kinberg (“Dark Phoenix” 2019) never really took off due to a screenplay that became bogged down in minutiae, leading to 123 minutes of weariness. The script was penned by Theresa Rebeck and Kinberg, and filmed in London, Paris, and Morocco.

The cast is headed by Jessica Chastain, Penelope Cruz, Lupita Nyongo, Diane Kruger, and Fan Bingbing as the core of hard-working spies. Co-stars include Sebastian Stan, Edgar Ramirez, John Douglas Thompson, Jason Flemyng, Jason Wong, Emilio Insolera, Sylvester Groth, and Leo Starr as a CIA agent. The unwatchable “The 355” was a huge flop at the box office for producer Jessica Chastain, FilmNation Entertainment, Huayi Brothers Media, Freckle Films, and Universal Pictures.
