When you reach my final grade, you might think I’m doing the same thing, but there are a lot of very clever and smart choices sewn into Kate that need to be looked at and appreciated. And much like others have said, it isn’t a bad movie, but doesn’t do enough to really distance itself from others of its kind.īut at the end of the day, all the reviews I saw still felt like they were putting down the film way more than it deserves. meets John Wick.” As each scene passed, the cliché, uninventive story beats were a little too much. Watching Kate, I automatically thought, “Ok, it’s just D.O.A. Unfortunately, while looking up some information, I caught a glimpse of some things other reviewers were saying…and I 100% agree with them. I don’t want other people’s thoughts impeding on my own until I’ve had my say. Looking at other reviews before I finish my own is something I never do.
KATE (2021),Mary Elizabeth Winstead (“Kate”) By who? Why? With less than 24 hours left in her life, Kate goes on a rampage killing spree to find those responsible and take them out before she dies. Waking up in the hospital, she learns she has been poisoned. As she flees, hobbled by some strange illness she ends up in a massive car wreck. As she aims down the sights of her rifle on the final target, she beings to fumble. After a successful, though troubling job in Osaka, Kate begins contemplating retirement. Under the tutelage of her handler, V (seriously, who doesn’t love Woody Harrelson?) she has become a one woman wrecking crew. Kate (seriously, who doesn’t love Mary Elizabeth Winstead?) is a precise, calculated, talented gun for hire in Japan. While I agree with what I’ve seen others say about Kate already, I feel like it is getting dragged down just a little too much, and not given credit for some smart moves it makes. Even if the premise is tired and overdone at this point you have to judge a film on its own merits. Try to count on your hands how man Zombie, Time Loop, and of course…Revenge flicks you’ve seen, or heard of in your life time. If a genre or type of story hits big, expect to see clones not too far behind. Rehashing trends is nothing new in Hollywood.
