6/10
Another Powerful Woman by Netflix
7 April 2024
The MI6 team formed by Parker (Jamie Dornan), Yang (Jing Lusi), Bailey (Paul Ready) and Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot) are chasing the dangerous arms dealer Mulvaney (Enzo Cilenti) in the Italian Alps. There is an incident with the Internet and Rachel, who is a hacker that works in the van to give support to the agents and not a field agent, needs to go inside the casino where Mulvaney is to access the security system. They intend to fake a heart attack in Mulvaney to extract him from his men, but things go wrong when the hacker Keya Dhawan (Alia Bhatt) infiltrates in their communication. Rachel Stone, who is secretly a Charter agent, helps Parker to be safe from Mulvany's men, and the dealer commits suicide with cyanide. Charter is an independent agency that has the powerful computer The Heart that is capable to hack any system and the agency keeps the world in balance with The Heart and their agents. Then the MI6 assign the team to go to Lisbon to capture Keya, but the team is attacked by several agents. Stone is forced to disclose her skills to save her friends when out of the blue, Parker kills Yang and Bailey. He drugs Rachel and tells that he wants The Heart, and she faints. Now she is recovered by the Charter with a Trojan implanted in her arm to access The Heart. Soon they learn the danger that Parker and Keya are to the Charter.

"Heart of Stone" is a spy movie that is a 007 wannabe with a powerful woman instead of a male agent in the lead role, presently the standard followed by Netflix. The screenplay is not good, and the plot begins without any explanation of what is the Charter or The Heart. The agency and the super-computer are developed later, but without explanation of how or by who the agency is maintained. The gorgeous Gal Gadot has good performance in the role of the agent Rachel Stone, but Keya Dhawan is a confused character. The villain Parker is also respectful, and the movie entertains in the end. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Agente Stone" ("Stone Agent")
