What The 355 offers up is a perfect Saturday afternoon dad movie, but instead of starring Stallone or Eastwood or Bronson, it stars five women with six Oscar nominations and two wins between them. (And was written by the creator of NBCs Smash!)

This 124-minute movie is fast-paced, well-acted and asks some interesting questions about where one’s loyalty lies.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 19, 2022

This simplistic approach, which forces an evil/ethical binary, paired with a ham-fisted dialogue, flattens the film and makes the lulls between fight scenes feel more like retribution than respite.

If you've ever seen a mediocre action movie with a surprisingly stacked cast, then you've basically seen this.

| Jan 14, 2022

There's nothing here that Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson haven't done already but Kinberg and his nimble cast achieve such momentum that you'll probably shelve your reservations until it's all over.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 13, 2022

Doggedly mediocre actioner The 355 is the cinematic equivalent of gathering together Formula 1's finest drivers and tossing them the keys to a Yugo.

| Jan 13, 2022

[An] often generic but surprisingly engaging espionage action/thriller.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 11, 2022

This is a title that screams, "Watch me at home!"

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 11, 2022

Diane Kruger slapping Jessica Chastain across the face with a frozen fish should be funny.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 10, 2022

Its dullness somehow feels worse than grand failure, as though its aims were only to prove that a bunch of the most famous women on Earth can come together to make an action film just as uninspired and boring as men can.

| Jan 10, 2022

Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong'o, Penelope Cruz among the great talents insulting the audience's intelligence.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 8, 2022

It is pure catnip for fans of the genre of beautiful women fighting off the bad guys with aplomb

| Jan 8, 2022

These women are dazzling and working so hard in such a derivative secret agent actioner.

| Jan 7, 2022

It plays like a press conference made uninteresting flesh. No sooner endured than forgotten.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 7, 2022

Yes, Chastain makes for a kinetic action hero, as do a few of her co-stars, and she's someone who most assuredly puts her money where her mouth is. But no, this is not the all-female Bond franchise you're looking for.

| Jan 7, 2022

Mostly, The 355 succeeds where others have come up short because it put the movie and the story first -- not the message.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 7, 2022

"The 355" devolves into a bullet-spattered endurance test.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 7, 2022

The 355 amasses some of the most talented and electrifying actresses in the world, then squanders them in a generic and forgettable action picture.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 7, 2022

If you can turn your brain off for two hours and cast the horrifying politics and Kinberg problems aside, The 355 is a pretty enjoyable and ridiculous popcorn flick.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 7, 2022

While "The 355" isn't a bad film, it's just a disappointing and mediocre one considering all the talent on screen.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 7, 2022
