January Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss4 of 21
The 355 | In Theaters on Friday, Jan. 7
Plot: When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, a wild card CIA agent joins forces with three international agents on a lethal mission to retrieve it, while staying a step ahead of a mysterious woman who's tracking their every move.
Our Take: I'm a huge fan of spy-thrillers and women-fronted action movies, so a combination of the two makes it pretty much a guaranteed watch. Writer/producer Simon Kinberg (who penned Sherlock Holmes, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, a good portion of the X-Men franchise, and most recently "Invasion") helms this globe-trotting, action-thriller which stars Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong'o, Diane Kruger, Bingbing Fan, and Penélope Cruz. — Vanessa
