Gal Gadot plays spy games in ‘Heart of Stone’ debut trailer

Gal Gadot, star of THE “wonder woman” and periodic ensemble player in The “Fast” Saga, embarks on a female-led action from Netflix.

In “Heart of Stone”, Gadot stars as an MI6 agent who secretly works for a secret peacekeeping organization known as The Charter. However, things go awry, as they often do in these films, leaving the tough professional badass relatively isolated from her life at MI6 and having to save the day with little backup. What follows is the expected assortment of action stunts (including a skydiving escape atop a snowy mountain) and a more conventional dizzying fight scene amid punches and gunfights.

So, no, “Heart of Stone” doesn’t seem to be reinventing the wheel, but if it works on its own terms, it’ll be enough for most Netflix viewers. Whether it spawns a new franchise, well, there’s a long way between “This is the start of a new franchise!” and “Extraction 2…now available on Netflix”.

Tom Harper (“The Aeronauts” and “The Woman in Black: Angel of Death”) is directing from a screenplay by Greg Rucka (who wrote “The Old Guard” based on his comic book) and Allison Schroeder (who wrote “Hidden Figures “), with production from Skydance, Mockingbird and Pilot Wave.

Gadot stars alongside Jamie Dornan, Alia Bhatt, Sophie Okonedo, Matthias Schweighöfer, Jing Lusi and Paul Ready.

“Heart of Stone” hits Netflix on August 11.
