Another failed attempt at creating a "Female" James Bond franchise. The story is good if you ignore the copy-pasting of plot devices from other movies.

Gal Gadot is annoying and talentless. I fail to understand how this woman consistently shows up in A-list action movies. If this movie had another interesting A-list actress, I would have happily ignored the other shortcomings. For example, Rebecca Ferguson as the lead would have made this movie much much better.

Thankfully, Alia Bhatt added some spice to this. Alia and Jamie Dornan pairing worked well for this movie. If you want a real, female-led, spy movie, watch the Bolywood movie **Raazi (2018)** instead. Alia Bhatt is the lead and it's based on a true story. :ok_hand_tone2:

Is this what Hollywood calls progress? Are this and _Ghosted_ the type of movies out of touch executives refer to as genuine attempts for launching a female Bond/MI? This is so offensively soulless and generic, there’s not a single interesting call during the entire runtime. Why does it all need to be so shit, Netflix? This isn’t high art, it shouldn’t be this hard to get right. Just give me a real, female-led, fun action film, not this content crap that’s made for NPCs.

2/10

The stupidest shit I've ever seen. Turned it off after 10 minutes. She can't act to save her life. 1/10

Terrible movie. The action scenes are absolutely ridiculous and awfully choreographed. Most fights drag on unrealistically with each participant having had the opportunity to put down their adversary multiple times. At one point Gal is running in a straight line in the flat wide open desert and she has three dudes shooting at her from 20 feet directly behind her with AKs and they miss! Ridiculous. They never even told the Asian actress who is supposed to be a top MI6 agent how to hold a gun... I'm always amazed at how this kind of sloppy amateurish stuff is possible when there are so many talented people available. Glad to see so many other commenters agree Gal can't act. She's not even pretty IMO.

Gal Gadot at her most beautiful and best. I didn’t know what to expect but as the credits rolled I was smiling. It was loaded with the things I like in an action movie AND it had heart, plus it had a surprising twist at the beginning. Great cast. Unexpected cameo(s). Loved the international venues. I follow both Gal Gadot’s and Jamie Dorian’s work and I was far from disappointed. This really should have had a theatrical release before it was consigned to streaming because I’m sure it would have been spectacular on a big screen but my little 46” TV subbed in rather well. I give this film a high 8 (great fun) out of 10. [Action, Adventure, Drama, Thriller]

nothing groundbreaking by any means but I had fun tbh! it was just an entertaining summer popcorn movie. there's some entertaining stunts/fight sequences and I will now be bumping up movies a half star if they feature a cute cat who doesn't get hurt

Lost interest 16 minutes in by the time opening credits showed up. Unrealistic fast paced action.

The previews made it look like a female 007... but after 35 mins I had switch it off. Dialogue and stupid scenarios ruined it from the get-go. Yes I was prepared to disengage logic within reason, but to completely disregard gravity and physics is pretty hard.

One example (not a spoiler) how the hell did she 'dispose' of 6 bodies in 30 seconds?

0/10

WHOAAAA STRONK WAHMIN AND JAZZ JENNINGS

AHHHHH I WANNA DIE FOR ISRAEL NOW AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Too many cliches and way too many plot holes
They're stuck in a bunker , they can't call 911?

Forgettable, uninspired, cliché. You can't possibly watch it without comparing it to *Mission: Impossible*, it's constantly copying it in so many ways. Every scene of this is a lesser version of something you've already seen before. Same goes for the story and characters. A few of the action sequences (the ones taking place in the air) have redeeming qualities, they're entertaining but it's not enough to leave an impression on me after watching it. Too much back and forth with the camera angles during the hand-to-hand fight scenes. Poor cringey acting, dialogue and interactions. Gal Gadot almost got it in a few scenes but those flat one-liners really don't help.

Not the worst action movie i've seen but considering the budget and the fact that this is one of Netflix's biggest movie of the year—basically the best they have to offer... this is poor!

"Heart of Stone" is the next by-the-numbers Netflix movie where you know exactly what you're going to get before you see it. Anyone who has watched the likes of "The Gray Man", "Army of Thieves", or "Red Notice" knows exactly what I mean. These are all movies for which the word mediocrity was invented. In any case, my pulse remained at a consistently low level throughout the entire running time of just about two hours for "Heart of Stone". Neither is the action thrilling, nor are the characters interesting. The film just plods along until it ends in a boring finale.

Gal Gadot is okay as the lead, but nothing more. The rest of the cast remains flat. The script also offers no basis for suspense. The world is peppered with agent movie clichés; the only slightly more interesting element is the super AI, with whose help special agent Rachel Stone (Gadot) solves all sorts of problems at the beginning, but the concept eventually fades into the background. When all's said and done, all I can say is "meh." However, I doubt Netflix will ever learn.

Good action, stupid script. Disappointing.

Gal Gadot can't act !
