I love that this movie involves women saving the day in the most action packed movie I have seen since Resident Evil. Love it. Was worth the wait. ??

I love that this is a movie about women kickin arse. It was entertaining from start to finish. Just the right amount of action. Love it. ????????

Imagine a device that could link to anything and be powerful enough to start World War III.  But an exchange has gone wrong, and now this secret weapon, created to destroy the world, is in the hands of a mercenary.  Now it’s up to a pair of agents, Mace (Jessica Chastain) & Nick (Sebastian Stan), to work together to get the device during another exchange.  Sadly for Mace, the retrieval mission and exchange is filled with surprises and failure. On the run, Mace starts to seek help from people she can trust, including an ex-agent named Khadijah (Lupita Nyong’o).  Khadijah is skilled with computers and can hack into any system required.  But Mace soon learns that she and Khadijah are not the only ones trying to retrieve the device.  The question is, are these people their enemy or perhaps someone they can trust in due time and team up together?  An unlikely team is formed to undertake a deadly mission and save the world. As a plot, The 355 certainly feels familiar.  A device that can destroy the world and a small team of skilled people coming together is nothing new.  What makes the film different and enjoyable is the leading cast and their interactions.  The leading characters are generally pleasing, even more so as the team slowly forms throughout the film.  The banter between the group reminds me of films such as Mission Impossible or even Oceans 8.  There are moments where leads doubt each other, but we know it’s only a matter of time until they must come together and use their different skills. Overall, whilst I love watching a team of talented ladies save the world, and the leads are generally good, their interactions are the film’s best aspect.  While the story being familiar is forgivable, the film is sadly predictable, and twists are not shocking.  The action scenes can be hard to watch, and simple discussions are done with shaky camera techniques, which are mind-boggling.  Some scenes also overstay their welcome. In the end, The 355 is an average feature rather than an outstanding film.   * This review has been written for Sanity.
