Netflix has launched a film directed by Cedric Nicholas Trojan and written by Umar Alem. A stylish, extremely violent, and crazy action thriller about a female killer who is trained as a killing machine from an early age and has an older male father mentor to get an assassination mission.
This time, the always striking Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the lead role, with Woody Harrison as her clever and cunning adviser and mentor. He educated Kate with mercenary training, and no matter what the difficulties, they would be resolved one by one. So, kill the Birr-esque plot we've all seen before, the original plot doesn't have too many obstacles, but you'll see a good timeline with some grim and sinister sharp humor, visuals on screen and some great action choreography.
Set in a surreal, neon-lit Tokyo, Kate is a cold-blooded sniper killer who has crossed obstacles and is somehow injected with a deadly serum that will kill her in about 15 hours. As Kate makes her way through the underworld of Tokyo with a decision of revenge, she finds an unlikely companion in Annie (Miku Maltino), who thinks Kate is a true life terminator, a real villain, just cooler (but doesn't know that Kate is the one who orphaned her).
Truth be told, Winsted's Kate does look cool, with her blood-stained smiley T-shirt, oversized plastic sunglasses and a way of walking that makes her look like she's doing slow motion, even if she's not doing slow motion. When Kate wasn't hacking and shooting dozens of Yamaguchi gang killers in Tokyo, or driving a muscle car down the street, that muscle car was so weird that the Fast & Furious team would suggest lowering it down. She's doing everything she can to protect Annie and make her understand that just because Annie comes from gangster blood, she doesn't have to be a part of that life!
Woody Harrison can play this world-weary, duplicitous character as well as you expect, and Kiya Ishihara (a Japanese rock star/actor) is a very good executioner in the full sense of the word as a superstar killer. Anne told the room full of gangsters that they were all going to die at the hands of Kate, and when she learned that there were 20 gangster killers among them, Anne said, "Then you will be eliminated immediately." "While we know there are stuntmen, makeup artists and special effects artists and a whole bunch of other things helping her, Winstead shows us that it's really her moments of action that are impressive, with alternate hilarity, self-deprecation, despair and determination during her inevitable death, and that she's just a small person throughout the process."
