Plot: Meticulous and preternaturally skilled, Kate is the perfect specimen of a finely tuned assassin at the height of her game. But when she uncharacteristically blows an assignment targeting a member of the yakuza in Tokyo, she quickly discovers she's been poisoned, a brutally slow execution that gives her less than 24 hours to exact revenge on her killers. As her body swiftly deteriorates, Kate forms an unlikely bond with the teenage daughter of one of her past victims. Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Woody Harrelson, and directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, Kate follows a burned assassin's furious pursuit of one last self-appointed job:)
My Movie Review: The movie is an incredibly violent, bloody, and brutal action film with strong kick-ass breakout act not quite for kids this thriller finds an assassin racing to find out who and why she has been poisoned so watch out for strong bloody violence and language throughout:) Kate follows Kate (Winstead), an assassin, whose mentor and handler (Harrelson) assigns her to kill a high-ranking yakuza boss along the way met a girl whose been caught in the middle of the chaos soon she comes in to protect her at all cost as found out during Kate's final mission she has at most a day to live so uses her last hours to get revenge and find out who set her up! Overall a power-packed movie that is full of some cool real badass fight scenes with Upbeat Japanese pop songs at the back; what more can I ask for visuals of neon night city are giving! Mary Elizabeth really evolved a lot as an actor, I first notice her on 10 Cloverfield Lane which is great and for then on I dig this gal for sure I will surely say that being a ruthless and supercool assassin was always one of her specialties and this spectacle defines that could ask for more! For me, this movie has good defining power to challenge movies like Kill-Bill, which still stands for its agitating cathartic female character love how they showcase their ability to be ruthless and being poised while doing those action sequences and some of this become larger than life! Note to famous phrase' "live every day as if it was your last" this movie depicted in literal terms!
Critics Consensus: Mary Elizabeth Winstead does reliably gripping work in the title role, but Kate is disappointingly derivative of numerous other female assassin films. A fun, fast-paced actioner! The violence isn't quite ultra, but at least it adds some excitement to the otherwise lackluster script. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is such a legit action star wasted by Netflix's Kate! Director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan makes great use of the Japanese setting and of newcomer Miku Patricia Martineau, who becomes Kate's unlikely local sidekick, but he might have done more with Woody Harrelson. Kate gestures at being different, something fresh and subversive, but at the end of the day, it's just reheating old clichés. Look, we get it, people are looking for new stuff to watch, mindless escapism included. Still, in terms of any sort of inspiration or originality, "Kate," the movie, is every bit as D.O.A. as Kate, the character. Its tired story and flat characterizations mean you're just counting minutes until the next shoot-out or sword fight:) Kate is a fun and schlocky revenge thriller that appears to be pretty slick, but the lackluster story stops it from reaching true heights. Kate delivers everything I could ever ask of a hard-hitting revenge-driven action movie. With a badass lead, great chemistry, and action moments that left me flinching on multiple occasions must-watch for the action aficionados out there app!
