Gal Gadot's 'Heart of Stone' Delivers a Solid Spy Thriller on Netflix

"Heart of Stone," a spy thriller starring Gal Gadot, falls short of expectations, resembling a lackluster version of "Mission: Impossible." Despite some solid action sequences, the film fails to fully utilize Gadot's charisma. The story follows Gadot's character, Rachel Stone, a lethal operative for a secretive spy network, as she navigates a convoluted game of spy versus spy. Directed by Tom Harper, the movie lacks distinctive elements and feels like a wannabe "Mission: Impossible." While Gadot shines as the protagonist, the film's structure and lack of backstory make it blend in with other cinematic spies. Overall, "Heart of Stone" is an inoffensive but forgettable addition to the genre.
