Since I was a little kid, I was obsessed with female spies because they were sexy, fierce, and deadly. I love a good female spy movie, and the latest has all the ingredients to make a great femme fatale feature: problematic male mentors, complicated love triangles, lots of action, bottles of hair dye, an arsenal of deadly weapons, and impeccable fashion.
The 355 stars Jessica Chastain, Fan Bingbing, Lupita Nyong'o, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, and Sebastian Stan. In honor of its release, I'm going to share a completely biased list of my favorite female spy movies.
