The 355 (2022) Universal Release date: 01/07/2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) In “The 355”, a team tries to work with one another to successfully complete a mission.  There's obviously some conflict before the team decides to work together. They are essentially trying to save the end of the world.  The action/thriller/spy film is somewhat entertaining.  You get to see a lot of different parts of the world including Paris, France, London, England, UK, and Morocco. The script is relatively straightforward with very few surprises.  Overall, if you are looking for something easy to watch, check out “The 355”. Diane Kruger discusses her character "Marie" and Jessica's character "Mace" "Mace is played by Jessica Chastain and I guess Marie is her most equal character in this film in terms of the missions they've done and level of work they've done. They are both Type A personalities.  They do not like each other very much. Ove...
