Disappointing Trailer For THE 355 Starring Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger & Fan Bingbing
Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger and Fan Bingbing have teamed-up for the action-packed spy thriller The 355.
Here’s the first trailer for the Simon Kinberg directed pic – I really want to like it – but I don’t.
The plot seems derivative and the action looks too far-fetched. It’s a shame because the cast deserves much better. Sadly, it would seem like The 355 is more Charlie’s Angels than Jason Bourne. A shame.

The synopsis:
When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, wild card CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown (Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain) will need to join forces with rival badass German agent Marie (Diane Kruger, In the Fade), former MI6 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist Khadijah (Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong’o), and skilled Colombian psychologist Graciela (Oscar® winner Penélope Cruz) on a lethal, breakneck mission to retrieve it, while also staying one-step ahead of a mysterious woman, Lin Mi Sheng (Fan Bingbing, X-Men: Days of Future Past), who is tracking their every move.
As the action rockets around the globe from the cafes of Paris to the markets of Morocco to the wealth and glamour of Shanghai, the quartet of women will forge a tenuous loyalty that could protect the world—or get them killed.
