Dueling Critics
“Most of the hand-to-hand combat is good, and there are fantastic chase scenes (on foot and motorcycles). In addition, the copious amounts of gunplay, as the team stumbles upon a vast weapons and munitions stash, is all very exciting… This is good old action fun with a well-constructed story and is better than many James Bond films.”
– Alan Ng
“As executed, unfortunately, it’s lumbering and familiar, with characters whose individual traits come off more like ideas on a note card than as actual humanity…’The 355′ is as by-the-numbers as a Sudoku.”
