, and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One that all feature leading actors willing to perform their own stunts. If you’ve seen any of those movies, it’s always easy to see the performers driving, jumping, and fighting for real. However, when you have Rachel Stone wearing a helmet that obstructs her head every time she does anything remotely dangerous, you’re not getting the same thrills that you get while watching Ethan Hunt, John Wick, Tyler Rake do their stuff.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to take away from any of the fantastic stunts that Gadot does perform in this movie. But with the aforementioned movies being released in just the past few months, the caliber of action movies is high, and the market does not need a middle-of-the-road actioner.
However, it seems as if they forgot to give Rachel a character. She has virtually no characterization in this movie. It feels like an early-era James Bond movie where Bond does not have a past that we know of, but his gadgets and charm are so magnetic that he’s fun to watch. This movie does not have gadgets, nor does it have any emotional stakes driving the movie forward. There’s a sliver of revenge at the center of Heart of Stone, which drives the hero and the villain.
The story is yet another movie about a group of people trying to obtain something powerful before it falls into the wrong hands. You can compare this to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, where the heroes and villains are both pursuing the same powerful object. However, it works in that movie because the opening scene shows you precisely what the object is capable of.
Speaking of villains, Heart of Stone seems to introduce a new one every 20 minutes. Once the movie finally decides on its main players, it gets rid of one of them way too early. The remaining two villains do not have any chemistry or an interesting relationship with each other.
