I watched The 355 yesterday--if it hadn't been for that bitch 'rona, I would definitely have gone to a theatre for opening night and I'm really bummed we couldn't do that, and also especially bummed to be denied the red carpetry of all the leading actresses and Sebastian Stan. I was SO looking forward to seeing him in couture suits and reveling in being the token boy for all the promo work. All we got was some stupid zoom appearances in unflattering clothes, boooo. (Also, the studio dumped it in January, so...even without the fucking virus, it wouldn't get the full push.)

As per the uzh, men are so up in arms about the movie (first IMDB review line I saw: "Ignore the misandrists, this movie sucks") because it's about a bunch of women joining forces in an action espionage thriller. I love that Jessica Chastain was basically like, "I want to make a movie about a bunch of women joining forces in an action espionage thriller" and made it happen with some of the best and most beautiful women working today, and also said "I want to have a Bond boy eye candy role" and asked Sebastian if he'd be interested. It's not a spoiler to say that their adorable RL friendship really glows on screen.

The rest is spoilers ahoy )

Anyways, it's cheesy fun and has fabulous locations and great cinematography and lots of beautiful people to look at, no matter who you're there for. It's dumb but exciting and doesn't go on too long, even if you can see the story beats coming a mile away. Also it's just always fun to think of the men having apoplexy over it. I definitely want to see it again, and not just for sexy smooth Sebastian.
