The Associated PressJake CoyleAug 11, 2023
All the pieces here are fine but nothing is distinct from dozens of films before it. You would swear that the movie’s star AI wrote it — and even gave itself first billing, too. Read full review

Slant MagazineClayton DillardAug 10, 2023
The cinematography looks striking enough throughout the various set pieces, but little happens in them to elevate Heart of Stone past its hackneyed foundation. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsAug 10, 2023
To become a true screen action hero outside the “Wonder Woman” realm, Gadot needs better material than this, and only when she gets to square off with Bhatt’s increasingly conflicted superhacker does Heart of Stone suggest a human pulse. Read full review

Heart of Stone is murky, drab and always going the wrong speed.

VarietyOwen GleibermanAug 10, 2023
What makes Heart of Stone such an enervating experience isn’t that it’s incompetent but that nothing in it matters. It’s all bombast and noise, all hollow logistics, all virtual “Minority Report” screens and clattering fury signifying nothing. In other words: Time to start planning the sequel. Read full review
