πΆοΈ When enemies are everywhere, trust becomes the most dangerous weapon.
In The 355, the world is on the brink of collapse when a cutting-edge cyber weapon capable of hacking any system on Earth disappears. This isnβt a job for one country β or one agent. This is global.
π₯ CIA agent Mace (Jessica Chastain) takes initiative and pulls together a covert team of international female agents:
Khadijah, a brilliant hacker who left the spy life behind
Marie, a ruthless α΄ssα΄ssin with a personal grudge
Graciela, an innocent civilian caught in the crossfire
And Lin Mi Sheng, a wildcard who might be friend or foe
π Their mission spans continents β from the back alleys of Morocco to the auction houses of Shanghai β where betrayal lurks behind every corner. With governments turning against them and no one to trust but each other, these women have to fight to stay aliveβ¦ and protect a future that could be lost in seconds.
π₯ The action is slick and intense, with beautifully choreographed fight scenes and tech-thriller tension. But The 355 goes deeper: itβs about loyalty, redemption, and women stepping into roles that spy movies usually save for men.
β¨ Each character has her moment, and the castβs chemistry gives the film emotional weight. PenΓ©lope Cruz brings warmth, Lupita Nyongβo adds brains and heart, Diane Kruger delivers cold steel, and Fan Bingbing is mesmerizingly mysterious. Jessica Chastain, as always, commands the screen.
π¬ While some plot points may feel familiar, the all-female ensemble and international perspective bring a fresh energy. Itβs Mission: Impossible meets Charlieβs Angels β with more grit, and less glamour.
β Rating: 4/5 stars
A stylish, powerful, female-led spy thriller with global stakes and emotional punch.
