The plot: CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown joins forces with a rival German agent, a cutting-edge computer specialist and a Colombian psychologist when a top-secret weapon falls into the hands of a group of mercenaries. Together, the four women embark on a breakneck mission to save the world while staying one step ahead of a mysterious figure who’s tracking their every move.
I was intrigued to watch this film being my first movie to review at the start of January 2022.
The 355 Movie was disappointing.
Pros: Penelope Cruz had a solid role in this film & there is a really good cast of talents to add credibility to this movie.
Cons: On this occasion I felt that all the best parts of the film had been already shown to us in the trailer. The story for this was so basic and you don’t feel like you know enough about each character to be invested in them. The action was not that well executed .But don’t rush into judging this film and making it the worst film of the year as we are only in the middle of January.
I would recommend that you skip this one and begin this year’s film watching with something else.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Stars
