New blockbuster The 355, which features a star-studded cast led by Jessica Chastain, has been panned in reviews, being branded ‘disappointing’ and ‘lazy’.

The new film follows a wild card CIA agent who joins forces with three international agents after a top-secret weapon falls into the wrong hands.

Jessica stars alongside the likes of Lupita Nyong’o, Diane Kruger, Penelope Cruz, and Sebastian Stan – but the impressive cast list hasn’t made up for what appears to be a lacklustre story.

The Guardian dubbed it a ‘disappointing dud’ and as ‘forgettable as its title,’ while The Times has argued that the incredible cast deserved more, adding that the good parts ‘can’t save this hotchpotch production from its ruinous inadequacies.’

Empire was a little more complimentary, but described it as succumbing to the ‘increasingly common disease of sequelitis’.

Meanwhile, The Independent has branded it ‘mediocre’.

Not very promising…

Despite the less than spectacular reviews, there ended up being some drama on set, with Jessica having to be taken to hospital.

I was doing a fight scene and it was on a marble floor. I misjudged,’ she told James Corden on the Late Late Show.

‘I had fallen and hit my head. I misjudged the distance. I heard a crack. That might be why I am the way I am today.’

The star added: ‘Everyone stopped and looked scared, and I was a bit stunned, like, I don’t know what is happening.’

However, she managed to squeeze a couple more takes in before heading to the hospital – a trooper!

The 355 is out now.
