Heart of Stone is the first film released for streaming but has already been viewed in 93 countries, according to statistics from Flixpatrol. However, the film has received largely negative reviews, currently holding a score of 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, which categorizes it as “rotten.”
In Heart of Stone, Gal Gadot plays Rachel Stone, an intelligence operative with MI6, under the command of Parker (Jamie Dornan). However, what the opposing teams do not know is that she actually works for The Charter—a secret organization that utilizes advanced technology to neutralize global threats.
Despite being marketed as a blockbuster aiming to rival the James Bond franchise, Heart of Stone has received criticism for its overly dull plot and many uninspired details. According to Screenrant, Gal Gadot’s performance is considered to be a step down compared to the recent action-packed films. However, the Israeli star has been noted to lack the charisma needed to carry a project with a budget of over $130 million like Heart of Stone.
Below are some notable comments from audiences regarding the film:
– It’s not a good movie.
– Just one word to describe it: Boring!
– I would like to see Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan in a different project. It could be a comedy or a romantic drama that suits them better.
– I only watched it for the actors. I love Gal Gadot, but she needs to improve her performance.
The work has sparked discussions about the “Wonder Woman” Gal Gadot after she left major film franchises. The actress is known for her roles as Gisele in the Fast & Furious series and as the superhero Wonder Woman in the DCEU. However, without these iconic roles, Gal Gadot struggles to capture the audience’s attention in action films.
Prior to Heart of Stone, her detective film Death on the Nile received a 62% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, the action-comedy Red Notice, co-starring Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds, only managed a 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite an extensive promotional campaign.
Gal Gadot’s standout quality is her ability to act with a certain charm, though she has received criticism for not conveying the emotional depth of her character on screen, leading many to comment that she was “too beautiful.” Nevertheless, her appealing visuals and friendly personality have endeared her to many fans.
Despite the numerous low-quality projects, Gal Gadot remains one of the most sought-after names in Hollywood. Recently, the star hinted at continuing her role as Wonder Woman in the DCEU. She will also make an appearance in the latest installment of the Fast & Furious franchise, reprising her role as Gisele. Additionally, Gal Gadot is set to portray the Evil Queen in Disney’s blockbuster Snow White.
