Review Of Heart Of Stone Film: Gal Gadot And Jamie Dornan's Bet Against Technology

Gal Gadot (Netflix)

JAKARTA - The Heart of Stone officially airs today, Friday, August 11, 2023. This Netflix collaboration film with Skydance features a series of main stars such as Gal Gadot, Jamie Dornan, as well as a hollywood debut for Alia Bhatt.

Directed by Tom Harper, the film Heart of Stone tells the story of Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot) who works as one of the agents in the MI6 unit under the leadership of Parker (Jamie Dornan). Behind their successful mission, Rachel Stone turns out to be working for The Charter, a peacekeeping organization that has the technology to solve various problems.

Rachel, who is considered a child who has just gone into the field, is trying to complete the mission after a mission. The problem started when their mission was interrupted by a hacker named Keya Dhawan (Alia Bhatt) who tried to confront Rachel.

Rachel is trying to find out who the figure of Keya Dhawan is, which leads to threats for him, his identity, and The Charter.

The Heart of Stone has a luxurious set and can certainly gain a big budget to create various extraordinary actions. The introduction of an interesting story where the audience is introduced to the figure of Rachel Stone who must maintain her identity.

Rachel Stone's identity conflict is also a kind of peppered with tension between herself and Parker. The tentation was built by the director as if it made the Heart of Stone have a romantic side.

When heading to the middle of the story, the Heart of Stone seems difficult to manage the flow that is starting to widen. A technology called The Heart, which is the foundation of the story, also does not build enthusiasm for following the journey.

However, it's better to forget a few annoying things for a moment. The Heart of Stone offers an interesting chase and shootout. And maybe this film reminds you a little bit of the Mission Impossible franchise - that's natural, because this film comes from the same producer.

The action scene that was presented also seemed fun thanks to The Heart. The technology owned by The Charter builds the audience's enthusiasm to see what happened from the shootout between groups.

In terms of acting, Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan played well. Gal Gadot may try to distance himself from the character who made his name and that's quite successful. Jamie Dornan plays solidly and has character development that adds to the excitement of the film.

Alia Bhatt, who became a villain in this film, feels like she has a character that is easy to forget, but her acting is quite satisfying even though her appearance is counted as a little villain.

The film Heart of Stone can be watched via Netflix starting today, Friday, August 11, 2023.
