Kate 4K Review
Professional killer Kate (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) prepares for her next job with her mentor Varrick (Woody Harrelson). The girl needs to kill one of the crime bosses in Tokyo, but just before the shot, she notices that next to her target is his daughter. Kate has only one rule - not to get involved in the bloody affairs of children, but she is forced to make a fatal shot right in front of a teenage girl. Ten months later, the incident still haunts the heroine, and she decides that it is time to retire. On her last assignment, the killer unexpectedly gets radiation poisoning, and now she has only 24 hours to find out who wants her dead.

Among the producers of the film is David Leitch - the man who gave us "Explosive Blonde" with Charlize Theron in the title role. But do not rush to turn on the Netflix tape in the hope of seeing vibrations between the characters or a more or less watchable plot. From the 2017 spy movie, there are, perhaps, only neon signs, which are rather attributes of Japanese energy, and a charismatic main character. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who plays Kate, is a fearless but utterly tired woman who, alone, confronts a bunch of men and wants to calmly sip her favorite lemon soda. The actress carries the entire frame of the film on her shoulders, but, to be honest, she has practically nothing to play here. Shoot after shootout Kate, as if in an insanely boring video game, is tested to find out what was clear to the viewer almost from the very beginning.

On his "journey" the killer is accompanied by the daughter of her victim - Ani. Girls quickly become partners. Both of them were considered useless, and both of them were left with nothing. It would seem that such a union smacks of at least "Leon" in 2021, but, unfortunately, there is no question of any chemistry or well-defined Stockholm syndrome. The viewer does not have time to properly get used to the heroines, as they are already ready to confront their enemies together. For the sake of fairness, I would like to note that Kate and Ani are the only female characters here, appearing as protagonists, and a group of men in dark glasses who underestimate their opponents are ordinary bad guys. Whether this attempt was made to push criticism of patriarchy into the film is not entirely clear, since the plot develops according to the cliches known to all in advance, which makes the original ideas here feel at least out of place.

Feminist messages aren't the only hesitant move by screenwriters to say something important. So, a couple of times the idea of ​​Western intervention in the Eastern world flashes. Representatives of the Japanese mafia with a wise look reflect on the naive attempt of the Western person to understand the reality alien to them and enter it. But even here, where, obviously, it was necessary to "push" and be a little bolder, the creators return to the space of weak storylines and incessant shooting.

Cédric Nicolas-Troyan's work is a convenient option for a Friday night that can easily do its job as a background movie, but isn't much to recommend to friends afterwards. You don't have to be a connoisseur of the sub-genre of spy movies about hired killers to constantly experience the unpleasant feeling of déjà vu from every shot and every bombastic remark about the family. The film consists of so many ingredients already familiar to us that sometimes it feels like the script could have been written by artificial intelligence. If there is an algorithm that can analyze action movies about revenge-seeking killers and give something in between, then the movie "Kate" would probably turn out.
