Mary Elizabeth Winstead, a sweet actress of the past, this time plays Kate, a highly skilled professional killer.
One day, her "mentor" and "guardian" Vic (Woody Harrison) gave her an assassination mission as usual.
Only to see two people driving a pink ice cream truck straight to the underworld nest;
Kate pretended to ask for directions, and cleaned up the few security guards at the door;
Then ascend to the vantage point and aim the gun at the approaching target convoy.
The task that was originally understated, but when the door was kicked, it had some twists and turns——
The assassination target was accompanied by a young girl.
Although contrary to Kate's killer code, at Vic's insistence, she still had to pull the trigger fiercely...
In fact, Kate herself was a survivor of the assassination scene.
Therefore, she will be adopted and trained by Vic to become a professional killer;
That's why she didn't want to kill a father in front of her children anyway.
This accident made Kate, who was at the peak, retreat.
The guilt-ridden Vic was also inconvenient to stop, promising her to wash her hands after the last vote.
New life, new atmosphere, Kate rarely changed into a beautiful dress, trying to blend into the night of Tokyo.
A tall, handsome white man appeared out of thin air and walked into Kate's world.
Unfortunately, the damn mission message came at the right time, and the incomprehensible style broke the beautiful scenery of this good day.
Kate had to say goodbye and wait at the top of the building on time and waiting with bated breath.
This time, the ultimate target is the brother of the last assassination target, the president of Tokyo's largest underworld.
Foreplay goes as smoothly as always, with hayabusa Kunimura playing the big guy, "as promised", exposed to sniper range.
However, the moment the trigger was pulled, Kate suddenly felt unwell, and for the first time in her career... Lost hands...
The gangsters also counter-detected Kate's location depending on the direction of the shooting.
She endured the pain and struggled to kill a bloody road;
But in the end, he was unable to support it and was arrested by the police after the car accident.
When he woke up, the doctor brought a message that was difficult to accept -
Kate was hit by polonium-204 poison, and only 24 hours of life remained...
Kate quickly looks back on this "hearty" day and finds that only the handsome guy who has nothing to offer can poison himself.
Thinking that the freshman who just opened up ended up for no reason, Kate couldn't help but "attack her heart with anger".
Kidnap doctors, get stimulants, and flee the hospital avoiding the police.
She made up her mind that she would cut the poisoned man's body into pieces before she died.
Due to professionalism, Kate peeked at each other's ID cards before dating.
According to the above information, it is not a problem to find the handsome guy.
It is conceivable that he is also forced by others to not know what kind of poison he has put into Kate's wine.
The real mastermind behind the scenes is the gang that Kate assassinated, the "Wood Island Group".
For the sake of the handsome man's honest account, Kate let her have a way to live, and then revived her strength to kill the "periphery" of the underworld.
With one enemy ten, blood plasma splashing, quite a bit of "kill Bill" charm;
When the dust settled, the only remaining horse boy raised his hand and surrendered.
Tell Kate that since the last assassination, President Kijima has been deeply hidden, and I am afraid that only his niece Yaren knows some clues.
That's right, the girl was the survivor of Kate's last assassination mission.
In the face of the anger of revenge, those guilts are no longer worth the sun.
Kate forced her to call Kijima's security chief and agreed to meet at the market center in an hour.
If you can't see the figure of Kijima, then Yaren has only one way to die.
Give a few shots of stimulants to the shaky body;
Then tie Yaren to the public toilet to keep away from danger;
Kate thought she was the best prepared.
Not long after, the elite of the Wood Island Group arrived as scheduled.
The two sides confront each other, but only the key figures Kijima and Yaren are missing.
Words are not speculative, and soldiers meet each other.
Elite is elite after all, Kate tried her best, and she was only barely able to protect herself.
The other side finds Yaren's whereabouts in the chaos.
The strange thing is that instead of intending to save people, they aimed their guns at their own money...
In the end, it was Kate who had to go out to save Yaren from the fire and water.
Interestingly, Yaren has always suspected that Dabomu Island hired someone to kill his father.
The reversal scene just now made her firm in such a belief.
Therefore, the two fallen people of Tianya formed an alliance in such a way that they killed the common enemy together.
But is it really as simple as they think?
The action scene designed by the "Fast Pursuit" team naturally looks and feels like a problem.
The setting of the last 24 hours of life makes the plot full of urgency without dragging mud and water.
Compared with the other three female action films "calculated" by big data, "Kate" does have something.
Unfortunately, there are not too many "things".
Japanese polarity and unscientific killing could have developed in the direction of exaggeration and distortion of "killing Bill".
But it chose to be introverted and realistic.
Unfortunately, in the process of realism, it did not create the "sense of tragedy" of the heroine Kate.
In the end, this still makes the whole film a breath of relief, and it is difficult to reach the realm of the peak.
Well, it doesn't hurt the audience.
Refreshing, exciting and not lacking in novelty, why bother
