A breathtaking novelty: Agent Stone (Netflix)
Synopsis
Rachel Stone, an intelligence specialist for a mysterious peacekeeping agency, tries to stop a hacker from stealing her most valuable and deadly weapon.
The opinion of CNET France
With Agent stone, Netflix doesn’t offer the most finely written action spy film of the year, but the streaming platform does give us some good entertainment led by a Gal Gadot in great shape. The action sequences follow each other in a rather fluid way and if we put aside the few scriptwriting facilities of the feature film, we can then let ourselves be carried away by a story that takes the characters to the four corners of the world.
Gal Gadot is a compelling sort of female James Bond and is surrounded by an equally effective cast of actors. The quality of the visual effects is also there and the film can also boast of having a nice opening credits, which is also reminiscent of the films devoted to the most famous British secret agent.

The opinion of CNET France
We stay in the world of soldiers with this time a team that is very difficult to defeat. The Old Guard mixes genres to offer Netflix subscribers an action film with fantasy accents, with immortal characters at its center. Charlize Theron is in top form in this feature film which highlights an interesting mythology and offers a surprising story full of smoothly staged action scenes.
The Old Guard is typically the kind of film from which nothing is expected but which manages to amaze. The mix of genres is well balanced and the cast of the film is convincing and involved enough to give this feature film all the vigor it needs to stand out from the many productions on the Netflix streaming platform.
