Heart of Stone is an action thriller following an agent for an ultra-secret global peacekeeping agency. She has been working with MI6, however, her cover is blown and now the agency is in trouble. Rachel must race against time or face losing the weapon to a group of dangerous people.
This is an attempt to bring us a new globetrotting spy character in Rachel Stone. It brings us a massive mission as we have seen in Bond or Mission Impossible. This works to show how Rachel can overcome the odds in her battle. While putting up a bigger question about how dangerous having too much control has in the world.
There are big action sequences going on throughout the movie and this can be a lot of fun to watch. This is entertaining and a good start to bring us an interesting action-heavy female-led spy series.
