Heart of Stone

This was quite infuriating, decent cast and action sequences, but such an awful, boring convoluted script full of cliches and total lack of believable characters. It feels like nobody did any audience testing or editing, a lot like Sentinel (ok that was a show) another soulless action movie that is like a B movie from the video store but with a real budget and people you have heard of. Don't really get what Netflix is doing, for all this money couldn't they have spent some on a decent writer? Was this written by AI? Gal Gadot was great and did a good job, Jamie Dorman is as boring as in everything else so at least he is consistent.

Gal Gadot is not a great actress. She's a true beauty though - a 10 out of a 10. She seems to have a great real life personality and she has been an inspiration to young women.

The above are major reasons why she sells tickets. It's just that I want to see great artists at work. I want to see someone transform completely and take me on a journey. I don't need to see yet another Netflix filler with a forgettable story But once again, Netflix delivers exactly that.

Wake me up when the next Mad Men, Succession or Better Call Saul happens. This film confirmed I should be much more strict in what I watch, because I'm wasting my time otherwise.

What happened to kicking back on a Friday night, with a cold drink and a big back of crisps and just enjoying the ride.

As somebody else mentioned, it is a bit like mission impossible on a smaller budget. Still plenty of action, one or two surprises and a feel good factor.

Will people just please stop whinging about every single film ever made and just enjoy them for what they are.....entertainment I thought the film was fun and I enjoyed it......the stunts and CGI on their own made it worth watching.

The characters were good and it left the viewer on a high ready for a sequel.....provided all the negative reviews don't kill it stone dead

Raise a cold beer to this one and enjoy it.

Admittedly this is not the best MI inspired ripoff, but it's pretty entertaining. Just skip past the netflix bashers and the 'critics' out to get some of the actors.

The storyline is pretty thin, but it checks out and has enough in it for some decent action. Acting is more than fair and the stunts and their photography are good.

As a spythriller it has the same credibility issues as the next one, including MI. Of course it does, that's why it's called fiction. Yes there are some stupid decisions, but that doesn't affect the entertainment, unless of course you're out to find them all so you can give some superficial review.

If you're into spy thrillers like MI, then you will most likely have a fun time watching this one.

I don't believe they were attempting to sell anything beyond a typical action movie here, so if that was their intention, they certainly succeeded! I went into it without expectations, and it turned out to be enjoyable, exactly what you anticipate from a movie like this.

The writing was a bit weak, which is a common trait in almost any action movies. However, there were two aspects that stood out and aren't typically seen in such films. Firstly, there was no excessively long fight scene where characters (especially women) are hit multiple times and keep on fighting. This was quite refreshing.

Secondly, they actually addressed the injuries sustained by the characters. In many movies, the main character gets hurt, but is miraculously fine just moments later. In this film they show the character's injuries and exhaustion throughout the entire movie. I thought this was well-executed, which is why I gave it a rating of 6.

Overall, it's a good movie if you simply want to switch off your mind for a few hours and not think about anything.
