Women Run the World in Globe-trotting Spy Action Flick ‘The 355’, premiering soon on Lionsgate Play

What happens when four powerhouse actresses team up in an action-packed spy movie? You get The 355 – a star-studded thriller that delivers high-stakes suspense and heart-pounding action. The film follows a group of international agents who must put aside their rivalries to keep a top-secret weapon from falling into the wrong hands and triggering World War III.

CIA operative Mace (Jessica Chastain) is tasked to retrieve a top-secret weapon – a flash drive that can hack into any computer with a few keystrokes – and recruits the help of her colleague, retired British MI6 operative Khadijah Adiyeme (Lupita Nyong’o). The mission gets messier when DNI agent and psychologist Graciela Rivera (Penelope Cruz) and rival German BND agent Marie Schmidt (Diane Kruger) join the hunt, each wanting to claim the program drive for their respective agencies. But a group of four head-strong heroines clashing heads isn’t the end of their problems, they must work together to make sure the weapon doesn’t fall into the hands of international crime entrepreneurs.

The 355 is an original action thriller conceptualized by Jessica Chastain herself and written by Simon Kinberg and Theresa Rebeck. Featuring some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, The 355 is sure to be an exhilarating ride for fans of high-octane espionage. In an interview with Screenrant, Jessica Chastain, who plays Mace and is also one of the film’s producers, talks about what excited her most in creating the movie, “Well, I like the idea that the actresses are all the bosses of the film. They’re the owners of the film. We raised the money on our own. We developed the script together, the characters together, we are the owners. It was made outside of a studio system, independently. We made it for a fraction of the cost of what a normal movie like this is made for. So, it’s exciting to me that the artists are now the owners of the work, and especially women. It’s exciting to me that the actresses are the ones in charge of the film.”

Director Simon Kinberg shared with CBR what drew him into directing the film, “I’m a huge James Bond fan and I love the spy genre in general. The first script I ever wrote was Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The 355 is a different kind of spy movie, but it is a love letter to spy movies. So, I was intrigued by the fact that it was a spy movie. I loved the idea of a female-ensemble spy movie. There are two things in there that are novel. One, there’s not a lot of female spy movies. But two, there are even fewer ensemble spy movies.”

Buckle up for a thrilling ride when The 355 comes to Lionsgate Play on January 31, 2025.

Lionsgate Play Kicks Off the Year with Spies, Power, and Excitement

Hello, 2025! The new year is off to an electrifying start, and Lionsgate Play is here to keep you entertained like never before. Whether you’re craving high-stakes action or gripping drama, this month’s second half lineup has it all – promising an unforgettable January. So, grab your favorite snacks, settle in, and get ready to binge watch with Lionsgate Play!

The 355

When a top-secret weapon falls into the wrong hands, CIA wild card Mason “Mace” Brown (Jessica Chastain) teams up with three unlikely allies to save the world from chaos. Alongside the relentless German agent Marie (Diane Kruger), tech-savvy MI6 specialist Khadijah (Lupita Nyong’o), and the level-headed Colombian psychologist Graciela (Penélope Cruz), she engages in a pulse-pounding race across the globe — from the elegant streets of Paris to the bustling markets of Morocco and the high-stakes auction houses of Shanghai. But there’s a twist at every turn as a shadowy figure, Lin Mi Sheng (Fan Bingbing), seems always one step ahead, forcing the team to build a shaky trust that might secure the weapon or destroy them all.

The Young Pope

After a shocking rise to power, Lenny Belardo (Jude Law) becomes the first American pope, adopting the name Pius XIII. His unexpected election is seen as a calculated gamble by the College of Cardinals, but Lenny quickly proves to be anything but predictable. Aloof and enigmatic, he defies Vatican traditions, relying solely on Sister Mary (Diane Keaton), as his trusted confidante. While Sister Mary encourages him to connect with his billion-strong flock, the young pope remains distant, stirring tension and intrigue within the Holy See.

The New Pope

Looking for a follow-up? “The New Pope” picks up where “The Young Pope” left off, blending biting satire with gripping drama to peel back the gilded facade of the Vatican. When Sir John Brannox (John Malkovich), a refined and charismatic English aristocrat, rises to the papal throne as John Paul III, the Vatican is thrust into a new chapter of leadership.

Madam

When Mack Leigh (Rachel Griffiths) discovers her husband’s infidelity and is drowning in debt, she takes an unexpected and bold step to secure her family’s future — launching an ethical brothel. Madam follows Mack’s daring attempt to challenge societal norms, redefine the meaning of sex work, and tackle the stigma surrounding her unconventional business.

With Lionsgate Play’s stellar January lineup, your screen time is about to skyrocket (in the best way possible). Don’t miss out on these fresh releases and subscribe today!

Streaming Review — Light and Fun, ‘Unmasked’ Is a K-Drama That Fits Lead Actress Kim Hye-Soo’s Style to a Tee

Kim Hye-Soo has somehow mastered the quirky girl boss roles. She did it in ‘Hyena’ and a more restrained version of it in ‘Under the Queen’s Umbrella.’ In the new Disney+ series ‘Unmasked,’ she takes this template and applies it to Oh So-Ryong, a gung-ho and fearless tv journalist in the show Trigger, whose ratings are dropping but lends credibility to its channel’s programming. So-Ryong is gutsy enough to paraglide into a cultist den to grab the scoop that she needs to break a story wide open without regard for her own safety (and that of her team). The first two episodes of ‘Unmasked’ promises to be a wild ride into investigative journalism in a televised platform.

Creating the contrast for the character is Han Do (Jung Sung Il), a director for the drama world who finds himself out of the narrative department and sent to the news division. He is not a people person and his first introduction to the world of Trigger and the many unique characters that comprise the team. In the first two episodes, we see this world through Han Do’s eyes and while he’s resistant to it, it’s a case in episode two that finds him joining the fray and getting entrenched into the team.

Photo courtesy of Disney+

While the first two episodes feel like the show will take an episodic structure – with each episode or couple of episodes detailing a unique and individual case – the cliffhanger of episode 2 suggests that previous cases may come in to play later on. This would create a thrilling world that is unpredictable and quite dangerous as the show may be the type to create enemies.

Photo courtesy of Disney+

This show seems to be Kim Hye-Soo’s bailiwick: the character, the genre, the tone. It’s a strong mix of suspense, thriller, and a generous dose of comedy. So far, there doesn’t seem to be any romantic angle being set up for Oh So-Ryong and Han Do but you can never really tell with these dramas, though she does seem intrigued by Han Do’s background and potential to be a strong teammate and the new director of Trigger. Whether he adapts and acclimates himself is the question, and he probably will, so the real story is how.

Photo courtesy of Disney+

The other characters that populate the show are played by Joo Jong Hyuk (of ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ and ‘Yumi’s Cells’ fame) and Jang Hye Jin (of ‘The Red Sleeve’ and ‘Jangnyeon: A Star is Born’ fame). Joo plays an eager segment producer who is hoping to land his first story while Jang is the veteran senior writer of Trigger who knows more than enough about the crazy world that these characters have found themselves in.

Photo courtesy of Disney+

The show has a fast energetic pace and is not afraid to get silly or to make fun of itself. What’s refreshing too is to see Kim Hye-Soo also go for laughs and not afraid to ridicule herself. The show looks dark and ready to go deep into the underbelly of South Korea’s criminal world as Trigger is known to solve cases that the police and prosecution were not able to.

By the looks of it, this is another glossy, trendy K-Drama from Disney+ that’s slick and efficient but not really the cultural reset that ‘Moving’ was. This is a show in the same vein as ‘Military Prosecutor Doberman’ or ‘Blood Free’ or ‘Red Swan.’ It will be fun to watch, if you find something in it to hook you but it won’t be making the same kind of noise that ‘Moving’ made.

My Rating:

Unmasked is now streaming on Disney+! Click here to watch it now.
