Heart of Stone (2023)

The first 45 minutes or so was like a budget Mission: Impossible -- which is to say it had great action, quippy dialogue, and a sense of danger -- so I buckled up for a great time. But then the story goes down the predictable "this powerful tool can't fall into the hands of that madman" path. And, though both Dornan and Gadot are beautiful people, Gadot simply does not have the acting chops to compel interest in the non-action scenes.

Very disappointing.
