Hollywood films are slowly making their way post-pandemic. The first trailer for the new surveillance thriller 'The 355' has been released online, unveiling the powerful A-list star-cast. Penned by Theresa Rebeck and Simon Kinberg and helmed by Kinberg, the plot kicks into gear when a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands. Wild card CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown (Jessica Chastain) then forms a team – which involves rival badass German agent Marie (Diane Kruger), former MI6 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist Khadijah (Lupita Nyong’o), and skilled Colombian psychologist Graciela (Penelope Cruz) – to recover the weapon.

But their purpose is interrupted by an enigmatic woman, Lin Mi Sheng (Fan Bingbing), who is tracking their every move. The travel-freak actioner crosses Paris, Morocco, and Shanghai and marks Kinberg’s second directorial work following his debut with the superhero sequel X-Men: Dark Phoenix. There’s a lot of familiar spy imagery here, evoking a bit of Bourne, a bit of modern Bond, a bit of Mission: Impossible action antics and the film certainly has the ensemble cast to back the play.

But all of those franchises are appropriate for their unique tone and access to the spy genre, so we’ll have to see if the team behind 355 manages to hit a unique note of their own. The film also stars Sebastian Stan and Edgar Ramirez and will be released on January 15, 2021.
