Netflix can give you Extraction... but then it is WAY more likely to give you something like this and hype it up so much that it almost hurts when it falls 😢

There was a 90s action movie called Stone Cold where the main character is named John Stone for the sole purpose of having one side character say “You got balls of steel, stone”.

Austin, I agree with all your rating numbers but you left out how bad the sound track is. It made me want to watch the movie with the mute on.

Netflix makes shitty movies and tv shows and cancel the good ones and complains about password sharing.

This movie only reminded me just how good the Mission Impossible series is. There is such a HUGE difference when a team goes about trying to capture as much action in camera practically as opposed to relying on CGI. Heart of Stone looked more like a cartoon version (with a lame script) of M:I-7.

I actually enjoyed this. Though the action always felt weird. I didn’t see the twist coming early on. But it was one of those ones where it actually made more sense in hindsight with with more of the pieces present. Motivations made sense the back half did drag though along with some rather idiotic character choices (like if the heart controls tech why on earth go underground and not in the middle of the woods somewhere). Still though other character choices made a lot of sense and I felt myself going oh yeah they would react that way. I though the movie pulled itself to slightly above average even if it had some (from a writing standpoint) genuinely good moments.

Man, I saw the movie yesterday, it was a fun popcorn movie, dont know why all the hate, we cant always have masterpieces, but maybe we can have a silly fun movie, with this review people will just skip it, and imo, its worth a watch

I have zero expectations when it comes to Netflix movies

I loved this movie. The action, and Gal was great. I like that twist too. My only problem was the motivation of the main villain could have been a bit stronger. I agree that the writers didn't care for the characters.

Bit of a head scratcher. I really liked it. It was a great female James Bond/ Mission Impossible action flick. Had a great time with it.

6.7/10 for me it wasnt as bad as a 5 and was not worthy of a 7 🙃. it also 100% felt like a movie you would watch on the cable movie channel but at 2am when they have nothing else to broadcast.

If there's one thing that this film has shown me it's that Netflix clearly puts no amount of money into their marketing division. I did not even know this movie was coming out this week.😅 As a marketing student they have to hire me quick because there are good things on Netflix that don't get pushed at all (All Quiet on the Western Front) and there are not so good things (Heart of Stone) that also don't get pushed out for people to know about.

“ The movie starts with a pop song “ Is it “ Imagine “ by any chance?

Netflix always come up with the most generic name for there generic action movies lol .

Thank you for reminding me to watch Extraction 2 again.

1 Q I just realized recently that when I watch Netflix on my PC I can turn on Chinese subtitles, but when I stream Netflix on my Samsung TV there are Spain, English, German etc subtitles but no Chinese, why? For Disney+ and Apple I can turn on the Chinese subtitles on my Samsung TV. How do I make that work for Netflix on my TV?

what movie did you watch? I just saw it and I put Heart of Stone on the same level of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather and The Godfather II. It's that good!

I just watched the movie about a couple of minutes ago. Nothing special about their concepts (especially the Gods eye) . WTS I will never get enough of Gal in an action film. It was worth the time.

Good review, too bad the movie itself is.. apparently too Netflix.. I'll watch it tonight as a Friday night date night movie. Snacks and couch. Now, the important stuff: when do we see the Runaway Steel, Austin? 🤓 Thanks for the review, keep it real! 👍

Extraction 2 was underwhelming to me. At least a bit anticlimactic and the story wasn't really all that deep. Just kind of flat. HOS wasn't Netflix's best, but not bad. Gray Man was better, as I enjoyed the down-to-earthness between the characters and Gosling's realness (cool action scenes too and the train scene was awesome). Extraction 1 was cool, but to this day I don't get why people loved it so much. The one chase scene was great, but overall I find it unrealistic how the main character survives after having been shot and losing so much blood in the end. Also, a pretty simple story, and nothing that was deep. Just a reason to follow the characters on a rescue mission. Another reason why I wasn't a big fan of all the Wick movies. No true depth or substance, besides revenge and "consequences". Fallout remains one of my favorite Agent/action movies in the last 5 years (story was great, and real stunts).

Reminds me of The Grey Man. I was so excited when they announced the actors and the directors. Chris, Ryan, and Ana are the hottest stars and the Russo Bros directed some of my favorite MCU movies. That movie was so cringe, tacky, and cheesy that people rather see Ryan Gosling playing a plastic man doll. 😂 Such a wasted opportunity with these BS Netflix action movies. And don’t get me started on the Red Notice…

Just a paycheck for celebrities. 😑

You should also state your scores out loud. Not everyone can “see,” and even if they can, some people listen to KZfaq videos through the car radio while driving.

If something came out revealing that Netflix has been already using AI for filmmaking it really wouldnt surprise me

Movie was cool, Great score and beautiful sites

Meh. I was prepared to not like it - Netflix, after all - but it was okay. Formulaic? Yes. Bond/MI? Yes. Goofy at times? Yes. Hmmm... maybe I didn't like it. Seriously though...it was okay. Mostly predictable, save for one scene, but I'll watch a sequel if they make it.

I don't fully agree with your review, although, you make valid points, and I think I understand your points of view. I agree, it's not a great film, but it's fine for a group/family movie night. The action (And I felt the same way about MI7 Pt 1) was a bit much, so, yes, it could have done with less action, and more chsracter development. But imo, it compares favorably to MI7, where the action just went on and on, for far far tooo long. They could have cut an hour out of that film and lost nothing. This one does not do that to us. I guess, despite it's obvious flaws, I just liked it better than you did. Enjoyed your review~made me think, and that's alwats a good thing. Thank you.

It must just be you man. I was totally invested in this movie from the beginning but then I like all the actors/actresses cast in this movie, and liked watching all their characters from the beginning. I loved the action scenes and twists. Of course I didn't like the CGI and the movie appeared a bit grainy, but the story line for me was great. There has to be something there for it to be the most watched movie 'GLOBALLY' on Netflix for two weeks running. I don't know what the critics are being so hard on it. Can they not stand something being successful from the audience point of view. When I read some of the Critic reviews I don't even think they have watched the same movie that I watched. You know what movie the critics are going to like... just pick the worst movie out this year and that'll be it.

She spent most of the movie unconscious fight sequences seemed cheap the women who worked for M16 at the start seemed more of a better fighter I feel like stone wasn't as dangerous as they were trying to portray her to be considering 16 year old girl had to help her in the last sequence

Haha😂 Your reviews have improved so much. Say it how it is pal. Good job.

The movie is ok.. but Kim Possible is way better :D

It’s always weird which mediocre action movies get super popular I mean how many decades did they milk the Bruce Willis image.

Awesome stuff, Austin! This one was so freaking MEH. The Mission Impossible ripoff description is spot on. I follow those M:I movies perfectly fine and this one? WAY too overcomplicated.

Another movie with hidden propaganda , "Men like you, Parker" an ending dialogue which is very sexist and done on purpose. no important roles were given to males other than the villain part. And I'm happy it failed cuz I'm sick with propaganda given more importance than the story.

I disagree with everything you said in your review-except that this film was meant to be a Mission Impossible rip-off. That’s correct. However, you dwell on about lack of character development, which IMO is not unusual in Action Films. The story is far LESS convoluted than Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, Pt.1; so I’m not sure why you knock “Heart of Stone” on that measure. Regarding the CGI, I’m guessing that unlike the $300 MILLION that Amazon gave to the Russo Brothers for their disaster “Citadel” that “Heart of Stone” was working on a tighter budget than Mission Impossible. So, there’s that. Regarding the performances, again: this is an action film, and the “performance” is whether they can perform the physicality required-which all of the actors do in this film. Bottom line: you mention how much you liked “Extraction 2”-which is a film I HATE with a passion-so I guess we have dramatically different POV, which is OK. My recommendation to folks is: watch “Heart of Stone” for the non-demanding “fun” it is meant to be. You, like me, may enjoy it.

It's simple, Gal Gadot can not act!!

So we suppose to believe a powergrid's password is "password".....

Funny mission impossible 5 is first recommended video for this video

How is Alia bhatt in this movie? She plays the main villain. Shes a huge Bollywood actress here in India.

This Movie is so bad, it is like the Indian actress father influenced this movie........

I just watched it for Gal Gadot. Mid movie 5/10. Not bad but not great either. I'd like to see her as a lead in a romcom

The first half of the film was pretty enjoyable, i feel it goes downhill after Van chase for reasons you'll know if you watched it.

@3:00 min mark EXACTLY RIGHT... There should have been a movie before this where she's embedded in MI6 And using the heart to help stop baddies as she pretends to be a hacker and they almost figure her out a few times as a running gag, but don't they win and she's still a hacker and there is no betrayal yet ... Then part 2 should start right at the betrayal in the first 10 mins and stealing the heart..

In my opinion the best action Netflix movies was Extraction 1& 2, The Gray Man and 6 Underground.

10 mins into the movie and I was searching on Google if this is a sequel or a prequel for another movie !

Jailer review?

Hm.

I was pressing my phone and googling where the actors came from. Not a good sign.

And what is up with the "heart" ? It's a pocket size ... what is it? A computer? An alien arifact? It's power seems like pure science fiction and why they would even need agents when they have the heart I don't understand. And it might be small but luckily it require computers the size of houses to operate! Some okay action and I like Gadot 🙂

OK so this was a standard spy action flix but you have to admit it was still 10 times better than most of the crap that the majors have inflicted on us in the cinemas recently.

The writing wasn't great, too many questions.... So they get a bug into the quantum computer and have it lower the airship it's flying in so they can fly up to 40,000 feet in a helicopter and get it. Why didn't they just have the computer email them instructions on how to build it? It's just a small round device. It isn't an infinity stone. How did they get the schematics on the exact machine that interfaces with the computer and connects it to the data center? How could someone invent a quantum computer and never built another? Why didn't the bad guys just find the techs who invented the computer? Why is it a hand held cylinder and not in an actual computer? The entire movie has weird plot holes like this. Also the ending fight scene looked like it was from a 1940s sci-fi movie.

I watched just the action sequences, pretty cool chase down the mountainside early on and van/motorcycle chase in the middle. Nothing more to see in that movie. The last name of Gadot's character is fitting in that her acting is stone-like.

This movie would have been a 60 percent for me if it was just her character in fast and furious lol.

i felt happy that you did not even mention Alia Bhatt in the review, after seeing the full video i believe she was one of the only few things in the movie that you liked & she might be the only actor that made sense to her character. if you are looking for alia bhatt's best films here is a list - "Gangubai Kathiawadi, Raazi, Gully Boy, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Highway, Darlings, Udta Punjab, Kapoor & Sons, Dear Zindagi & Brahmāstra: Part One - Shiva" till now ( This One Just For The Overall Film, Here Character Was Not Developed Well Though, Director Said Part 2 & 3 Will Have Her Character More Developed, This Was Just The Stepping Stone ). This was her hollywood debut. i hope she gets a better hollywood film next time also for Priyanka Chopra as well. alia is one of our best & i hope more hollywood production houses see her potential.

Are you going to see the last voyage of the demeter movie🤔

oh my god, yes! I just watched it and something about it felt really generic. I got MI7 vibes from the "Heart" being an all-knowing, all-seeing weapon like the AI villain in MI7. But MI7 did it in a more interesting manner. This movie somehow felt boring.

This movie was surprisingly good very average but worth the watch 👍🏻👍🏻

Well you aren’t a psycho but you do watch a lot of movies lol.

Any action movie rated pg13 is an automatic no for me. Pg 13 limits what they can do far to much.

I just finished watching the movie. It was disappointing, agent Stone gives "Wonder Woman" vibes and I was happy to see a female villain...but of course she wasn't the main villain.

Thanks for your reviews - always look forward to your content. Heart of Stone was complete trash 🗑️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Did you see the way she improvised that parasail pick-up and magically harnessed herself in?😂. Then she shoots 6 or 8 security henchmen and the controller tells her...OK, hide all the bodies before they get there...🤣. I'm out....

I thought this movie was pretty darn good

I watched a good movie lately and I want to share it with you. It's name is "a good person" started Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman. It deserves your time

I thought it was a little bit better than Ghosted or Kate. I did get a good fight scene out of it, at least it’s better than seeing Natasha vs. Taskmaster imo. I wish the video quality is more polished.

I came here after 3mins into the movie 😂

it was a good movie better then Wonder Woman 1984 2020

watch Indian movie Jailer

MI:7 but written by AI, bad actors, awful soundtrack, no stunts, subpar cgi instead of the real shit, bad camera work, super obvious twists and last but not least missing the first half of the movie (which is inexcusable for a 2hr long movie). There was nothing in this movie that I enjoyed.

Why doesn't anyone use the bourne identity as a foundation of the newer generation of fighting choreography? I remember after seeing the bourne movies EVERYONE copied the way the fightscenes where done

I’m surprised horrible movies like this actually make it past the script and into production. This was so bad. Not even close to the level of MI

I thought the movie was a decent enough action flick. Nothing to write home about but I’d watch a sequel. It could have been much worse. The spy movie with Gal, then Rock and Ryan Reynolds during covid Red notice was God Awful. I feel asleep watching that movie 2-3 times. This at least had me interested.

Its a nice fun movie where a bunch of what supposed to be a highly intelligent Charter Agents aware of the threat of AI able to hack everything online, yet choose a hideout where the door, vent and everything can be access online 🤣

I just watched Heart of Stone which was okay.

Thank you for not mentioning Alia lmao she is truly basic

the movie wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either. id give it a 6.

Please review warrior series...it's a must watch

It was painful to watch . It made me think wtf am i Doing with my life

This movie kind of like Ghosted a while ago is inherently trash. I know it rationally and yet I still sort of enjoy these stupid action movies. I had a fun enough time. Definitely forgettable though for sure.

I did not enjoy the movie

Runaway Steel does sound really cool though 😅

Youre better off watching Atomic Blonde

I just kept looking at the time when it'd end so I can sleep honestly big flop!! I had to go back to see if I missed the fight scenes coz they sucked even the last line "maybe in another life" see you when I get there, so cringe!!

Number 1 on my Netflix feed. Yea sure.

I only watched half of the movie. Its was really bad. The part with the parachute felt like a Playstation game on easy!! And even that's not possible lol.. the writing was terrible. stone played her role but im surprised she took this after reading this script 😂😂😢😢

It’s just a sit back and enjoy kind of action movie. Just take a chill pill and enjoy the movie without trying to complex a simple plot.

I think it's better then Red Notice 😂. Hopefully they 'll do better on the sequel.

Gal was great in this movie.. i enjoyed watching this one.. i thought I saw mix from all great movies.. this is a Netflix movie, so I did not expect a production like MI.. so it is okay for a Netflix movie..

absolutely dismal movie with bad acting x10 but mostly just bad writing. novice supergenius hackers that are also experts at high altitude wing suit flying, gun play, and mostly just looking like pathetic runway models that can't even run without looking like toddlers.

Austin this makes me feel depressed because Gal may not have another chance at Wonder Woman in the future and James Gunn is making DC fans like me trying to make us hate him, I'm praying and hoping Gal doesn't end up like Henry

Mission Impossible comparison to Heart of Stone sky diving: real/Tom Cruise- fake/CGI-not Gail Moto Bike real/Tom Cruise fake/cgi-not Gail running, shooting.fighting: real/Tom cruise fake cgi-not Gail the tech in Heart of Stone was utterly stupid, LCD screen data appear out of thin air and are right in front of her face magically, smh. Even the "Heart AI" is a ripoff. A keyboard human rights activist from Bollywood hardly constitutes a proper villain. Critics gave this movie a 33% and fans gave it a 62%. It is just not a very well-made and thought-out movie, can we be honest about that ...pretty please

I felt the movie was a result of poor scriptwriting and cinematography, and more than once it challenges the viewer's stupidity, just pushing you and literally asking "who's more stupid? Us for making the movie, or you for spending your time watching it?"

I’m starting to think KZfaq is secretly financing these awful action movies in order to draw more traffic to reviews like this 😂😂😂 This film was so horrendous even my friend who literally leaves the room when I watch *good* action movies, wanted to watch this sludge through to the end just to laugh at how bad it was at every turn.

it did the job of being an average action film. Oh boy was that twist obvious though if you even know anything about action movies.

Runaway Steel

32!!!! dang thats bad haha 😂

U totally ignored Alia Bhatt..... She got a huge part in the movie.. N she did well..Uve upset us Indians 😢

I liked it!! It was fun for me

Haha another skip but still better than MEG 2 for sure

another female spec ops flick - what a surprise and fantasy!
