Lady Bond?

 

The 355 (2022)


Directed by Simon Kinberg this film stars Jessica Chastain, Penelope Cruz, Fan Bingbing, Diane Kruger and Lupita Nyong'o. A group of international female spies team up to stop a world wide threat.


Mixing together James Bond and Mission Impossible the underlying plot of the film is nothing special, in fact it is rather predictable at points. The feminist spin is decent although I would have liked to seen a more realistic plot to allow a better exploration of the idea of the different levels of work/life balance for women focused on their careers. Obviously the cast is the highlight of the film, putting together a real group of heavy hitters.


3/5
