'Heart of Stone' Ending Explained: Could Gal Gadot Turn This Into a Part Two?

Heart of Stone sees Gadot starring as MI6 operative Rachel Stone working alongside MI6 leader Parker (Jamie Dornan) and the rest of the MI6 crew as they are combating with hacker who is attempting to take over their organization. It doesn't take long for us to learn that both Rachel and Parker are essentially double lives.Through the film, it's revealed that Rachel has been secretly working for a global peacekeeping org known as "The Charter," who's main goal is to retrieve a incredibly powerful AI device known as "The Heart."

Similar to other action thrillers of this nature, Heart of Stone winds up coming down to a battle between Rachel on behalf of The Charter, and Parker, well, not on behalf of The Charter organization he hates so much. "The Heart" is a very powerful device that has the ability to basically hold the fate of The Charter in its hands. Parker winds up in possession of "The Heart," and turns off the oxygen in the facility.

Thus, a fight ensues between Rachel and Parker as they hit, kick, punch, and fight back and forth for possession of "The Heart," and Rachel winds up winning the battle as she shoots Parker dead before The Charter members die from no oxygen.

Initial reviews of Heart of Stone seem to be fairy positive with Deadline saying: "In what is looking like a fairly thin August for big Hollywood movies like this one, it might have been well suited for a significant box office run, especially considering the international appeal of its diverse cast, but as a streaming attraction a lot of the keenly designed and expertly developed stunts and action pieces, including a dazzling skydive in the midst of an exploding Hindenberg-like vehicle, just won’t have the same effect even as it offers some eye-popping late-summer fun.  I reviewed it in a theater, and that is what it belongs, but no question Gadot’s presence will mean something here. She brings a level of humanity that lifts the material."

The fact that is could have been in theaters (especially with the likes of Challengers now being delayed due to the on-going strike), is a positive.

The Hollywood Reporter also noted: "While it’s a few notches up from the Wonder Woman's star’s last action romp for the streamer, Red Notice, it feels only marginally less manufactured from the spare parts of other movies. But it gets the job done and is sure to pull solid numbers. It doesn’t hurt that Gadot has appealing chemistry with co-star Jamie Dornan.
