“All of the action, stunts, everything you see was done with real people.” Real stunts are cool! Though is the movie any good? Netflix has unveiled a final behind-the-scenes featurette for their action spy thriller titled Heart of Stone, streaming soon if anyone wants to watch. This has been getting awful reviews, and I’m not surprised. Just because they spent a lot of moeny making this doesn’t mean it will be any good. Gal Gadot stars as the lead character Rachel Stone, an elite CIA agent who must make sure they don’t lose their most valuable asset – a special tech device that allows them to help orchestra the world. The twist is that she also works for a secret “peacekeeping” organization called Charter, and they are free from the government or other ties. So a bit of James Bond, a bit of Mission Impossible, in a globe-trotting adventure with Gadot as our world-saving 007. The full cast also includes Jamie Dornan, Alia Bhatt, Matthias Schweighöfer, Sophie Okonedo, Jing Lusi, Paul Ready, Archie Madekwe, Helga Kristín Helgadóttir, & Jónas Alfreð Birkisson. This looks like it might be fun, but it still doesn’t seem that exciting. Have a look below.
Here’s the behind-the-scenes featurette + final preview for Tom Harper’s Heart of Stone, from YouTube:

Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot) appears to be an inexperienced tech, on an elite MI6 unit headed up by agent Parker (Jamie Dornan). What her MI6 team doesn’t know is that Stone actually works for the Charter — a covert peacekeeping organization, secret even from other spies, which uses cutting-edge technology to neutralize global threats. Rachel has been trained to be the consummate professional: a phenomenal field agent who sticks to the mission, follows the numbers, and trusts no one. When a her next routine mission is derailed by mysterious hacker Keya (Alia Bhatt), Rachel’s two lives collide. As she races to protect the Charter and strives to beat the odds, her humanity and her heart might just be her biggest asset. Heart of Stone is directed by British writer / filmmaker Tom Harper, director of the films The Scouting Book for Boys, War Book, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death, Wild Rose, and The Aeronauts previously, plus lots of other TV work recently. The screenplay is written by Greg Rucka (a graphic novel writer) and Allison Schroeder (Hidden Figures, Christopher Robin, “Side Effects”). It’s produced by Bhaumik Gondaliya, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Bonnie Curtis, Julie Lynn, Gal Gadot, and Jaron Varsano. Netflix will debut Heart of Stone streaming on Netflix worldwide starting August 11th, 2023 this summer. Anyone want to watch?
