Review 4K Movie

You turn on the trailer for "The 355," watch it, and think, "Wow! How many sexy actresses are starring! The movie promises to be hot!"

You turn on the movie and think, "Baaah! They're definitely not women, they're men in disguise! Well, they can not embody in the frame and Jason Bourne, and Ethan Hunt at the same time!"

And it turns out they can! With the slight suggestion of Simon Kinberg movie about seemingly sexy and just charming agentess turned into a kind of parody of the spy action movies with actresses, women in the lead roles. It all turned out to be very similar to "Ghostbusters" with ladies in the guise of those very hunters.

Perhaps the excessive masculinity and rejection of female beauty and charm is due to the fact that Jessica Chastain, as an ardent feminist, not only played the main role here, but also acted as one of the producers. In "Agent Eve" she was also very tough, but there the sexuality slipped through and Chastain could be looked at with adoration.

In "The 355", it's just the opposite - for two hours - not a single spectacular outfit that would enhance women's grace, beauty, elegance (those dresses and suits in which the heroines came to the auction are not counted - the impression that the costume designers intentionally handed the actresses bags from under potatoes, to discourage the viewer). For real! These outfits look like they were picked up by Ekaterina Varnava and Denis Nikiforov, given their "taste" in the movie "8 First Dates"!

Maybe I'm too biased, but you know, when Jessica Chastain, Diane Kruger and especially Penelope Cruz are cast, the viewer is entitled to expect female charm, sexiness, flirtatiousness and even some degree of passion. Instead, what you get when you watch it is a bunch of women running around with guns and machine guns and killing people left and right.

Naturally, only men fall dead from such hot ladies (the creators preferred not to introduce a lady villain in the plot, well, so that the girls don't beat up their own and shoot them). Oh, this femme sentiment!

But that's okay. We're already used to women who don't tell their uncles what to do and smash their faces in blood. There's "Crimson Mint", "Agent Eve", "Gunpowder Cocktail", and "Pretty in Punch" to name a few. At times the scenes of fights or shootings were even interesting to watch - at least they were not badly staged (though they raise questions as to the adequacy of the show).

But the plot of "The 355" is a total flop. Thoughtless chases, constant shootouts, some gadget stolen by some people from the others, and then by the third from the first and then by the fourth from the third turned the plot into a letter from Uncle Fedor to his parents from the cartoon "Three from Prostokvashino". The absurdity begins from the very first seconds, when a squad of dumb SWAT, led by an equally dumb commander does its thing and without even thinking - "maybe we should have interrogated first, before shooting?"

Bouncing from country to country turned "The 355" into a female-fronted similarity to "Mission Impossible" or the Jason Bourne movies, where events also unfolded in several countries in one film. The presence of agents from different countries immediately gave a reference to "Agents of A.N.K.L.", except that the girls (well, they're not men - they're not Ilya Kuryakin from the KGB or Napoleon Solo from the CIA to quarrel and compete!) are much friendlier to each other! They don't fight, they are a team! They don't even joke around with each other - so seriously they try to perform Steven Seagal in the frame and punch in the face of the next slouchy man who dares to get in their way!

And there are a lot of unnecessary pauses in the movie from dumb men who have a chance to complete everything, but constantly think with something other than their heads... That's what the ladies do!
