“Kate” (REVIEW) A Familiar, But Delightful Ride in the Assassin Genre

A review of the new Netflix action-thriller KATE starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Woody Harrelson, and Miku Patricia Martineau. From director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan.



Synopsis

 

Meticulous and preternaturally skilled, Kate is the perfect specimen of a finely tuned assassin at the height of her game. But when she uncharacteristically blows an assignment targeting a member of the yakuza in Tokyo, she quickly discovers she’s been poisoned, a brutally slow execution that gives her less than 24 hours to exact revenge on her killers. As her body swiftly deteriorates, Kate forms an unlikely bond with the teenage daughter of one of her past victims. Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Miku Martineau, and Woody Harrelson, and directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, Kate follows a burned assassin’s furious pursuit of one last self-appointed job.
