Gal Gadot is one of the latest prominent female stars in Hollywood. Alongside other names like Ana de Armas and Brie Larson, she is among the actresses frequently discussed in the context of new productions, particularly when it comes to action films, as she has become a revered heroine.
Beyond her iconic role as Wonder Woman, the actress has featured in multiple installments of Fast & Furious, and she has just starred in Heart of Stone, Netflix’s latest movie, where she once again embodies a character brimming with dynamism and action. But what does the critics’ take (and what does the audience’s perspective) reveal about this feature film?
Heart of Stone divides the audience
Initial Rotten Tomatoes reviews make it clear that Heart of Stone isn’t a standout film. With just a 32% positive rating from critics, it’s far from being a movie that will earn the Academy’s respect. However, the audience has taken a somewhat kinder view, granting it a 61% approval rating, nearly double that of the critics and securing a passing grade.
This phenomenon often occurs in genres like action or horror, which tend not to resonate with critics but can easily win over more mainstream audiences. However, Heart of Stone’s case is even more striking, with a disparity twice as large. If you want to judge for yourselves, you can watch it on Netflix, and the synopsis is as follows:
International intelligence agent Rachel Stone must embark on a dangerous mission to protect the enigmatic MacGuffin known as “The Heart.” Stone is tasked by the peacekeeping organization known as Charter, which aims to prevent the object from falling into enemy hands.
