Movie Reviews
“[It] comes across as if the screenwriters had gathered the scripts for dozens of similar films in the genre (…) a movie has to pause to tell the audience the origin of its title, it’s either trying too hard (…) Rating: ?? (out of 4)” Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times
“‘The 355’ amasses some of the most talented and electrifying actresses in the world, then squanders them in a generic and forgettable action picture (…) Rating: ? (out of 4)” Christy Lemire: rogerebert.com
“Sleek, silly, and surprisingly fun (…) The script is both ludicrous and functional (…) The story moves along crisply, and the stars elevate the material so breezily they tend to make even the most ludicrous moments float” Leah Greenblatt: Entertainment Weekly
