HEART OF STONE REVIEW : GAL GADOT IS SOLID BUT ALIA BHATT’S HOLLYWOOD DEBUT LACKS SPUNK

HEART OF STONE Movie Rating: 5/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Synopsis: Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot) is a feisty secret agent who works for a peacekeeping spy agency called The Charter. She must protect  her institution's most valuable weapon, the heart, from  hackers. She could destroy the world if stolen. 

Review: Gal Gadot's team of Rachel and  Parker (Jamie Dornan) must hunt down and stop a mysterious hacker (Alia Bhatt as Keya Dhawan of Pune) who is driven for revenge. But there is more to this story than meets the eye, and no one is telling the truth.  Women are second to none and don't feel the need to be tainted to win. The premise is interesting. Set in London, Iceland, Portugal, and Italy, this spy thriller centers around secret motives, deceptive deeds, artificial intelligence (AI), and a global spy agency unaffiliated with any country or political ideology. expands to It looks familiar, doesn't it? 

 Citadel starring Priyanka Chopra  and Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 recently covered some of these elements. Does the movie balance performance, narration, or stunts with overall content? 

 Despite the rather fast-paced opening chase scene and heart-pounding tune ("Quiet" by Israeli alternative pop artist Noga Erez) setting the mood for the film, the film stalls and quickly becomes mediocre. calm down in the works. Tom Harper's storytelling struggles to create  chemistry between the main trio that requires banter and emotional tension. I can't really say a word of irony. Alia Bhatt looks  a little confused and nervous playing 22-year-old Keya in her first Hollywood movie. Your dialogue presentation is reminiscent of a newcomer. Jamie Dornan exudes apathy and boredom. Aside from Gal Gadot, there are some very interesting actors on and off screen who mysteriously seem to be there only for the paycheck. 

  Wonder Woman goes all out to carry this female-directed spy thriller on her chiseled shoulders. Her athletic physique and badass presence help with that. Gal Rachel is talented, sassy and ethical enough to do her job with Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt, but her disappointing storyline lets her down. 

 Heart of Stone pales in comparison to a year that had some solid action thrillers. Not without moments. Filmed in Lisbon and Iceland, the action scenes are worth watching, but more than that, it fails to get you hooked, excited, or emotionally involved with the characters and their backstories. Treatments and events feel static and boring. 

 Aside from full-on crime novels, Netflix seems  obsessed with  making world-traveling action spy thrillers, no matter how many, how unforgettable. Ghosted, The Gray Man, Red Notice, Extraction...the list is endless. 

  All of these movies follow a template in terms of story and cast. Hollywood stars join a diverse cast that includes well-known Indian actors. Without disrespecting the talent of the actors, it would be fair to say that this is a smart move to attract a large Indian audience. The casting feels more  like an alibi than it makes sense, and that's where the problem lies. When it comes to the genre, with the exception of Priyanka, who gained a well-balanced character in The Citadel, this trend does not give Indian actors  a wider appreciation. You can do a lot more. 

 This charter isn't from the Mission Impossible IMF, but if you like Gal Gadot, you might want to give  Heart of Stone a try. Arya and Jamie fans will have to wait for something better.
