#The355 did not start well. Tip to directors: Don't have your lead actor change wigs and makeup and costume from scene to scene, do MTV-style rapid-cut editing, and then expect your viewers to follow along.
It settled into a pretty conventional formula after a while, a cross between every Jason Statham movie and Charlie's Angels with a little spy movie thrown in.
Yes, conventional. We've been in a world where women have been the spy/assassin characters for a fair while, now.
Take away the incessant shooting and kicking, and hacking security, and there's little left. The worldwide locations could have been sound stages and B roll, the plot was thin, the Evil Threat To The World undersold (and amusingly old-fashioned), the evil henchmen conveniently inept just when the plot required, and the characters one-dimensional.
It's pretty mediocre stuff. As a spy comedy it would have worked, equally so had it been darker. But this was just a bland halfway-between.
