“The 355” is the story of female secret service agents who team up to intercept a device that can hack into any computer system, with the consequence that the world is in danger. Personally I was interested in “The 355”, I like movies about spies, but by the way, for the last years in particular I think there were no good spy movies with female characters in the foreground (I remember the trashy “Red Sparrow” which still makes me nervous, to tell the truth). Another reason to see this movie, is my favorite actress Jessica Chastain in the title role.

I can say that “The 355” was a rather good film, I liked the frequent changes of locations, the events developed in several countries, the movie came out to be dynamic and not boring, the plot was intriguing (but not very surprising). Fighting scenes, chases, shootouts looked good, I can’t say there were any super action scenes, but everything looked good.

About the actors. Jessica Chastain, Mace, her character comes across as a determined one, she goes after her goal no matter what, Chastain in the character looked not bad and if we compare her to the similar character Eva from “Agent Eva” with her in the leading role, I liked Mace’s character better. Diane Kruger, Marie, I would say that her character turns out to be stern, not too emotional, she is a pro of her craft who sweeps everything in her path, Kruger is in good shape, it has been a long time since I have seen her on big screens.

Lupita Nyong’o, Khadija, an IT specialist, what can I say without a good programmer, the mission at the present time is impossible, Nyong’o seamlessly fit into the role. Penelope Cruz, Graciela, her heroine is drawn into unaccustomed circumstances, in the course of the plot she has to keep up with her newly minted colleagues, and she successfully does it.

In general, “The 355” is a quite watchable action film, it is certainly not “Mission Impossible”, but if compared with some thrash films about spies “The 355” is not so bad, there is a boring story, there is a main aim which is followed by the heroine who tries to solve the problem together, despite the complicacy of the circumstances. The movie has dynamics, the visuals are quite spectacular, plus the cast is good. I can not say that “The 355” is a masterpiece in its genre, but you may watch it once.

“Gentlemen” is a crime comedy-action film from the recognized master of the genre Guy Ritchie. The plot of the film is presented as a story in a story. One of the heroes of the film, in all seriousness, wrote a whole script based on the events he saw. In fact, in real time we observe only 10% of the tape. Everything else is a kind of imagination game of dialogue participants. This is based on some sudden and interesting twists, when the heroes themselves admit that they simply invented some kind of scene.

Nevertheless, there is a story in the film – a story rich in events, twisted and artfully intertwined. All in the spirit of the good old Guy Ritchie. From this point of view, cinema is an ideological (and stylistic) continuation of his debut works “Cards, money, two trunks and “Big jackpot. And “Gentlemen succeeded so well that now it’s not even clear which of these three films is the best.

The story, despite its versatility, still rests not on sudden plot twists (and there are plenty of them), but on heroes. The characters of the film, again in the spirit of the classic Richie, worked out to the smallest detail. Each of them is colorful in its own way, unusual, with its own unique details and character traits. All are remembered without exception. And the coolest heroes are those who, it would seem, appear in only a few scenes. Strength and coolness in detail – these are the “Gentlemen” are very captivating.

There is a diverse set of statements in the film that seem to carry out a cut of the main issues of the generation. Guy Ritchie walked, it seems, on all the most pressing topics of the day: from racism and social inequality to the legalization of drugs. The topic of cultural differences between the USA and Great Britain is separately disclosed. Richie is good because his reasoning on these topics does not get out of the general rhythm and style of the tape. The dialogue on racism will be as dynamic and sharp as a gang war or a sneaky chase.

Separate praise deserves the visual side of the tape. The costumes in the film are perfectly matched. The clothes also emphasize the colorful character. Each of them has its own unique style, not only in behavior, but also in appearance. Camera work is impeccable and diverse. In the tape, there are scenes customary for a wide audience, and clip editing, and even shooting with GoPro cameras. The meticulousness of the approach is also visible in working with color and light.

Summing up all of the above, an obvious conclusion can be made – Guy Ritchie is back to basics. And he returned brilliantly. The director, finally, again got the opportunity to do something his own without adjusting to the direction of studio bosses. Before us is again the original Richie – the one we fell in love with twenty years ago. At the same time, the director is noticeably progressing and in his new work does not slip into self-replay. “Gentlemen” does not copy any of Richie’s previous films and is a completely self-sufficient and original work.
