saga Mission impossible This is no doubt a reference to most modern action films. But that doesn’t justify the fact that most of the scenes Agent StoneTom Harper, available at Netflix, I imitate her in an obvious and unfortunate way. From here he takes his first shocking action scene, which will later have little to do with the plot, and a protagonist with every conceivable ability. Agent Rachel Stone (Gal Gadot) is able to use a wide range of weapons, use any technology and defend herself with various combat techniques. Something that also resembles a historical franchise James Bond.

However, in the case Agent Stone, the plot, written by Greg Rooka and Allison Schroeder, is a set of predictable twists and turns. The narrative takes no chances and quickly reveals that Rachel belongs Charter, a mysterious organization about which there are not many details. Obviously, the film’s sole purpose is to create an origin story for the future franchise.

The only thing of interest is that it has to protect the artificial intelligence mechanism known as Heart. This is by posing as a rookie double agent in the M16 group. But it’s a necessary risk. AI is a dangerous digital weapon that can shake global stability and pass information into the hands of political enemies. Rachel’s unsung group of heroes use her for good. However, if it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be devastating.

Agent Stone

A Netflix movie directed by Tom Harper tries to mimic the action of the Mission: Impossible saga. The similarities are so obvious that even their main conflict is the same: an artificial intelligence device capable of becoming a global threat. But the director fails to convey a sense of danger or impending disaster. Agent Stone it has an overall look that gets worse over the endless two hours. With a predictable ending, Gal Gadot’s character makes it clear that the film could be the start of a franchise. But his flat and ridiculous argument suggests that this probably won’t happen.


























Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Too weak script

It’s pretty funny that Agent Stone use history like history Mission Impossible: Death Sentence – Part 1 as the main conflict. But, in addition, even less interesting is the idea of ​​an enemy that can be found on a computer screen or on any mobile phone. The director fails to create a tension of danger that is not entirely clear or has certain limits. Again and again the argument points to risk but doesn’t care too much about what the true consequences of losing the artifact they are trying to protect might be.

On the other hand, the supporting characters are flat and seem to have the sole purpose of letting the main actress show off. Jamie Dornan plays Parker, an M16 agent whose most important trait is to be determined by action and apparently empathetic. Without trying to give any depth to the character, the official is a figure destined to be tested at every opportunity of ability. Rachel. In addition, she is an effective and reliable leader. And he does it so diligently that it arouses suspicion.

Some Incredible Effects

As expected, the two first join forces to thwart the hacker. Kia Dhawan (Alia Bhatt) steal and use Heart. But the presence of a star Bollywood this is just an excuse to hint at a larger conflict that is never defined. Instead, the plot focuses on a series of gunshots, explosions, and stunt chases that go nowhere. Most of the action scenes are implausible, unnecessary, and with dubious digital effects that are disappointing and undermine the story.

Actually a big problem Agent Stone should be so general that interest fades as soon as a dilemma arises. keya need artificial intelligence Charter for personal reasons, while for Rachel and Charter, the goal is pragmatic. To defend order and democracy in the Western world. The script tries to make the apparent villain more than just a tool to justify the whole operation, but fails to do so. And this means that for its third part, the film completely fails.

Agent Stone nothing to offer

Premiere Agent Stone comes after Tyler Rake 2, also from Netflix, became one of the best fighters of the year. Also, at the same time John Wick 4 he showed how to make the genre more than just a combination of fights and gore. However, Gal Gadot’s film is limited to repeating a well-known scheme, not striving for originality or surprise.

More like action movies of the late 2010s, in which the characters were limited to wandering around exotic places with weapons in their hands, Agent Stone this is a disappointment. Mediocre in its script and visual section, it is fully on the list of platform projects with a huge budget, but little on-screen results.
