The 355


355


A top secret weapon falls into the hands of some bad guys. A CIA agent goes a bit rogue and combined with three other agents from other agencies from around the world, along with a Psychologist (You read that right), try to get said weapon back.

Positives:
The actors:
All the leads are spot on wonderful and most important believable..
Jessica Chastain as Mace the FBI agent
Bing Bing Fan as Lin Mi Sheng
Diane Kruger as Marie Schmidt
Lupita Nyongo as Khadijah Adiyeme
Penelope Cruz as Graciela Rivera

The action is nonstop fun (With a twist I saw coming a mile away). This is what you show up for and it delivers.

Negatives:
-So many plot holes we are asked to overlook. Per example"
If they are rogue? Where are all the change of perfectly fitted outfits coming from? How are they getting from point A to B on the other side of the world and so quickly? Where are the weapons coming from?
- I wish there was more humor written into the script. The leads seem so cold with no personality. It is hard for the viewer to latch on and care. That's what makes Bond so appealing,,,his one liners and such.

I think it is a good film and delivers what you want, excitement and action. Still it is forgettable, sadly because the acting is really good. 

3 stars out of 5 for 355. Oh, the 355 stands for the codename given to an unidentified female spy who fought for the patriots during the American Revolution.

From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
These leads are all b
