Heart of Stone (2024) (Netflix)
What a mess. There’s a super-secret spy agency with impossible technology that exists for reasons that are not really clear. There are people trying to destroy said agency for reasons that are not really clear.
Nobody’s motives for doing anything are really clear. Why does Doris from accounting in her Christmas sweater kill a bunch of people in an elevator at Jamie Dornan’s command while the character who is supposed to be his equal partner is screaming “NOOO!!!”?
The plot manages to be both nonsensical and entirely predictable, with every spy movie cliche you’ve ever seen thrown in along the way.
All of this could be forgiven if the action sequences were on par with even, say, a lower-tier Bond movie, but alas, they are not.
Even being able to look at the incredibly gorgeous Gal Godot for a couple hours didn’t make this worth watching. A pity.
