“Heart of Stone,” starring Gal Gadot as superspy Rachel Stone, takes audiences on a globe-trotting espionage adventure reminiscent of “Mission: Impossible.” Set in glamorous locations like the Italian Alps and Lisbon, the film showcases high-octane action sequences, including a wingsuit skydive. This digital spectacle relies heavily on visual effects and is tailored for Netflix. The plot revolves around the Charter, an enigmatic intelligence agency armed with a powerful quantum computer known as the Heart. The film’s action is fluid, and Gadot delivers a capable performance, though not exceptional. The supporting cast, including Jamie Dornan, Alia Bhatt, and Glenn Close, has limited impact. Despite its charm, “Heart of Stone” lacks originality and surprises, following a formulaic script that feels more algorithmically generated than creatively crafted. The result is an enjoyable yet forgettable addition to the superspy genre.
