3.5/5

Star: Jessica Chastain,Sebastian Stan,Edgar Ramirez,Diane Kruger,Penelope Cruz,Lupita Nyongo,Bingbing Fan,Leo Staar

‘The 355’ has a dream of a star cast, spectacular action sequences but a story so feeble that it suffocates under the self-imposed pressure of being politically relevant, and the need of extending support to independent women.
