Heart of Stone (2023)

"Impressively generic."

"Ludicrous and derivative."

"Familiar but diverting."

"Let’s hope this is not the beginning of a secret-agent franchise."

"An overly calibrated hodge-podge of better movies."

"A drab, forgettable, poorly lit mess."

"Just about enough dumb summer fun to have us curious for more."

"If this is the first instalment, count me in for the second."

"Someone, please, hold a camera steady for even 30 seconds at a time, we beg you."

"Bond-alike thriller lands with a thud."

"A convoluted saving-the-world thriller full of MacGuffins we can't pretend to care about."

"Mission Insipid."

"Formulaic but well-filmed."

"A third-gen mimeograph at best and a dull actioner at worst."

"Entertaining."

"A perfectly watchable and often daft bit of fun."
