Does it still look any good? Will it be worth the wait? Kinberg's The 355 now opens on January 7th, 2022 at the beginning of next year. This was originally set to open last year, but they delayed it another year due to pandemic shutdowns. Cinematography by Tim Maurice-Jones (of Snatch, Revolver, The Woman in Black, Kick-Ass 2). Also starring Sebastian Stan, Edgar Ramírez, and Emilio Insolera. A dream team of formidable female stars come together in a hard-driving original approach to the globe-trotting spy genre in The 355. Jessica Chastain, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong'o, Penélope Cruz, and Fan Bingbing co-star as the five leading ladies.
Trailer for the movie spy series#
The last ten minutes of the series is the finest acting ever filmed or seen."We put ourselves in danger, so that others are not." Universal has dropped in a second official trailer for The 355, an espionage thriller starring a set of international women as five spies who must work together to recover a top-secret weapon in order to save the world from danger (of course). Egan, MacAnally, Weigang at the summit of their art. Overall, however, we see compelling acting. Jack Brotherhood, from 1947 to 1987 without a grey hair. Also, some people don't seem to age, yet, they've been apparently working since the end of WW2 i.e. Although this was perhaps truer in the 1970s, when the novel's action was taking place.

Also, their role in Magnus', Jack's professional lives and the spy craft is merely as sex-pots, which doesn't always conform to the zeitgeist. Not to be sexist, but the women in the series are simply annoying. There are also devices taken from the book that are clearly unnecessary for the series (the green filing cabinet for example), and the relationship with Brotherhood could have been expanded, for the sake of balance with that of Axel Hampel. To my taste, the series spends too much time on the childhood of the hero character. The reality is only revealed when Egan's character towards the end, when the Americans are catching on) starts to decompose. The buildup of his character during childhood only strengthens our sympathy for him. For example, we see immediately that Axel is initially harmless, but while he does something objectionable, nevertheless remains very attaching. What this creates for the viewer is the impression that the good guys are actually bad, and vice versa, without resorting to any literary or artistic device.
During Magnus' childhood, and through his mentoring by Jack Brotherhood, we see an individual with divided loyalties, but seemingly true to both. Time and again, we see Magnus' relationship with his father as one where the former is criminally tolerant and indulgent, as any son with a deranged father might. The background of the series is about the issue of what I would call inverted loyalties.
The story is linear, starting with a young Magnus, his con father, and his acolytes. While those who have read the book will find this adaptation surprising, it is also one of the finest. Whereas the first two were essentially two long investigations, A Perfect Spy, which begins as a non-linear story line in the novel, is about the socio-psychological components of what goes into making a spy.
If Smiley's People and Tinker Tailor Spy were about the "how" of espionage, A Perfect Spy is about the "who".
