20 Worst Movies Of 2023

15. Heart Of Stone

Freelance Movie
Netflix

Heart of Stone is an almost parodic example of a totally soulless, programmatic streaming action flick you'll come across on Netflix and genuinely have to ask yourself, "Have I seen it?"

A bland spy yarn fronted by Gal Gadot in pure autopilot mode, its worst crime however is wasting a talented ensemble cast, including Jamie Dornan, Sophie Okonedo, Matthias Schweighöfer, and most of all Glenn Close, giving one of the most blatant "gimme the paycheck!" performances of the entire year.

Beyond a few mildly diverting action beats, this is flavourless slop of the highest order, despite clearly marking yet another attempt by Netflix to birth a dubious franchise.
