Introduction to Kate - A Netflix Movie Review

 

If you have been waiting to watch a movie which appears to have attention-grabbing action scenes, then your wait is over with the Netflix movie Kate. From start to finish, the Netflix movie Kate puts you on a roller coaster ride of action as the star of the movie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Kate sets out in search for her archenemy.

 

With the above being said, you may be wondering what I thought of the Netflix movie Kate.  Was there too much action -- not enough drama or vice versa? Check out my Netflix movie review of Kate to find out.

 

Plot of the Netflix Movie Kate

 

The plot of the Netflix movie Kate, involves the main character Kate who is a trained assassin. At an early age Kate was trained to master her “craft.” Believe it or not, there is protocol in this “trade”, which Kate bypassed at the direction of her “handler.”  This one event as well as other incidental happenings in the film was the basis for the complete Netflix movie.  

 

Specifically, Kate was seeking to avenge something that happened to her by locating the person who targeted her as the victim. As a result she became a ruthless, avenge -seeking victim rather than the assailant, while at the same time trying to survive after being poisoned.

 

 

Choice of Characters in the Netflix Movie Kate

 

I think the casting staff did a good job picking actors to appear in the Netflix film Kate, starting with choosing actor Mary Elizabth Winstead as the lead actor who played the role of the  main character. The other cast of characters were also adequate including Woody Harrelson as her handler/trainer and actor Miku Martineau as the character who was at first the kidnapped victim who later became Kate’s cohort.

Realism of the Netflix Movie Kate

 

As with most action movies, the star appears to always endure a lot of battery, harm and injuries -- yet remains able to continue to triumph in various altercations. However, there was one blooper in the Netflix film where Kate was severely injured in her leg -- yet she was able to keep fighting and moving around which I guess can be attributed to movie magic.

 

Also, it appears to me the writer/director had a certain look they wanted for the Kate character relative to hair length which they accomplished by having her cut her hair during one of the scenes. Instead of blatantly going for this look, they could have had it be known to the audience that she was trying to disguise herself in some way by maybe trying on a wig, becoming frustrated with it and as a final result, decided to cut her hair. I think this would have been a more realistic and subtle approach to cutting her hair short.

 

However overall, I think the writers/director of the Netflix movie Kate were successful in delivering the type action movie that they set out to have on screen.

 

 

Stand out Action Scene in the Netflix Movie Kate

 

There are plenty of “John Wick'' type actions throughout the Netflix movie Kate in addition to hand to hand combat.  If you want to fast forward to one of the noteworthy fights in the Netflix movie, I would choose the one where she seemed to have met her match when she fought the flamboyant chinese actor/character who at first had an exaggerated personna about him. However during the fight with Kate, he seemed to remember that he was once an expert  fighter.  This is the impression I got especially when he seemed to become confident in winning the fight -- which of course he did not. This was due to the intervention of Miku Martineau’s character, Ani.

 

Combination of Action and Drama in the Netflix Movie Kate

 

 I think the movie had a sufficient amount of action and drama with an emphasis on the action.  Additionally, the movie is not overly long so the coming in and out of action scenes for snippets of drama was an adequate mix.

 

Assessment of the Netflix Movie Kate

 

I must warn you that there are many gruesome type scenes in the Netflix movie Kate, especially one dealing with a sword fight. This action Netflix movie did not forget to dot any i’s or cross any T’s when it came to showing violence. For this reason, you should be at least a certain age (17 years old)  in order to watch this movie -- even though it is streaming on Netflix.

 

All in all, I believe the Netflix film Kate will keep your interest, especially if you are a fan of action movies.

 

Rating of the Netflix Movie Kate

 

Note: Starting with this Netflix movie Kate, I will be rating subsequent movies in whole numbers instead of using fractions  i.e. 1 star instead of 1 ½ stars That way, I believe you will get a better idea on my opinion regarding if the movie was good or bad without any ambiguity.

 

With the above being said and based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate the Kate Netflix movie 4 stars.
