KateвЂ™s mission is to find out on whose orders she was poisoned and why, and to enact a bloody revenge. She has just 24 hours to live, during which time her health will rapidly deteriorate. At a bar she meets a man (Michiel Huisman, in a role thatвЂ™s barely more than a cameo) who drugs her with Polonium and gives her acute radiation sickness. Ten months after the events in Osaka, Kate is in Tokyo. Unlike Atomic Blonde which tied itself in knots with twists that no one cared about, KateвЂ™s premise is incredibly simple. This narrative-light approach is actually in KateвЂ™s favor.

Here we have a zippy action movie packed with cool moves where bullets fall like rain and plot is an afterthought. Kate is in the mold of LeitchвЂ™s movies John Wick and Atomic Blonde, even as itвЂ™s nowhere near as good as the former and is about on a par with the latter. This is the second feature from director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan whose debut was the Snow White and the Huntsman follow-up, The Huntsman: WinterвЂ™s War, but it is producer David LeitchвЂ™s mark you can see most clearly on the project. ItвЂ™s a decision that will come back to haunt her in unexpected ways. So when an assignment in Osaka sees Kate take out a mark in front of his young daughter, she is wracked with guilt. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Kate, a highly skilled assassin working in Japan with her long-time handler and best mate Varrick (Woody Harrelson).

Style over substance doesnвЂ™t even begin to cover the flashy but empty thrills of Kate, a Netflix original action film which plays a lot like a video game.
