I am the first one to hate when a strong female character is forced down your throat but here I expected an action movie with a strong female main character and I got an action movie with a strong female main character.

Considering the title was "Kate" and not "Paul" or "Frank" or "Bill" and there is A LOT of action I don't have anything to complain about it.… Expand

Mary Elizabeth is a perfect choice for the lead role. Her action sequences, fighting style, emotions, physical look indeed everything is superb. She makes the movie engaging till the end.

Visually this movie is excellent. The Cinematography, fighting sequences and direction is superb. I loved this movie.… Expand

Ein sehr spannender Film. Kate ist sehr Taff. Manche Szenen sind sehr brutal.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not bad, it's a shame that there will be no sequels.

Mary is not the best choice for an action hero as she does not have the training for much of the stunts, it is noticeable in this film but she does an alright job.

Obviously this is a comparison to (Reeves & Theron) who are miles better and trained for the genre. The only thing I can find fault is Ani (Miku Martineau) just seems to instantly forgive Kate for the assassination of her father... being provided with a bombshell of an event should have more weight than it does here.

Lastly, there seems to be a desire to recreate films that are the basis of inspiration. ie: La Femme Nikita, Léon the Professional, John Wick, and Atomic Blonde.… Expand

KATE is a John Wick-lite with not a lot of meat on it's bones other than how much ass it kicks. At times the cinematography shines, at others a adrenaline fueled action set piece will drop in your lap out of nowhere, but in the end it runsKATE is a John Wick-lite with not a lot of meat on it's bones other than how much ass it kicks. At times the cinematography shines, at others a adrenaline fueled action set piece will drop in your lap out of nowhere, but in the end it runs maybe a tad too long. It's plot is simple but the action is great. Then last but most certainly not least, is the always amazing Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She is wicked and looked like she was having a blast. Woody Harrelson gives us the classic **** bag but, really, he is outshined but everything else going on. Outlandish but fun.… Expand

Look, based on its limited ambitions, I would say that the ceiling on this movie was an 8, so I consider the 7 a pretty high mark.

Having her hair cut short, youNetflix action flicks are almost a staple on the streaming service, but Kate may have a cliched storyline, but it excels in two of its aspect: its setting in Japan and as a showcase for Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Having her hair cut short, you can see that she soo eerily resembling Sigourney Weaver, that many fans petitioned her to replace Weaver in the Aliens series or even to become her daughter. Why not? She is a badass action star, and has been for most of her career, even starring in Die Hard as Bruce Willis' daughter! Anyhow, what else can I say about this flick and it shows Netflix dominance in these sort of films, genres that were once the pantheon for Direct to Video in your local Blockbuster.… Expand

Solid and enjoyable. Appropriately badass. I don’t want to assume anything, but I’ve seen similar films with far worse acting, plot, and dialogue get way higher reviews -dare I say- because they have a virtually all male cast.

I typically start movies to abandon them ten minutes in if they suck, which is what I expected for this one.

To my surprise, it was almost the movie I expected - but captivating from beginning to end.

The photography is fabulous, the acting top notch throughout (seriously, casting should get a no holds barred party thrown for this accomplishment), it avoids all the cliches and sustains a thoughtful pace throughout.

Surprise of the year. The only downside is that the story is told from beginning to end, there's not going to be a Kate 2.… Expand

i freaking love this movie Mary Elizabeth Winstead made me a fan of hers. i love the plot twist at the end when she realized that kate was working with the enemy the whole time and killing the girl family the movie jhad no hidden agenda justi freaking love this movie Mary Elizabeth Winstead made me a fan of hers. i love the plot twist at the end when she realized that kate was working with the enemy the whole time and killing the girl family the movie jhad no hidden agenda just good old revenge action flick 24/7 and at the end Woody Harrelson was the actual antagonist. Miku Patricia Martineau add charm to thwe scenes its a very dark movie but every scene she was in she stole the show.


if i had to compare it's like atomic blonde meets Anna (2019) damn i wish it had a post credit scene or something i really wanted kate to survive or something i just wanted more.… Expand
