Filled with light parkour, terrible speed-ramping, and frenetically edited combat, Ziman's film could easily be repackaged as The Asylum's ripoff of Lucy.October 09, 2014
A kill-a-minute gore-a-thon whose twist is so obvious your grandma Edna will see it coming, "Kite" never gets off the ground.October 08, 2014
Ziman pretends to be empowering his young heroine by putting a gun in her hand and tough words in her mouth. But there's something deeply discomforting about his camera's fetishistic leering.October 10, 2014
Ziman struggles mightily to weave hot-girl assassin shtick, trendy exploitation style and future-shock grimness: The default setting seems to be whatever you've seen in a hundred other movies (and heard - the electronic score is pure digital Muzak).October 07, 2014
In a film that pits the heroine directly against the sexualization of young women, the camera's gaze itself feels awfully exploitative.September 29, 2014
For anyone compiling a list of Samuel L. Jackson's worst films, you're in for a treat. Kite will be hard to beat.September 04, 2014
Dabbling in the same fetish-feminism and coldly-served revenge fantasies that made Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch such a wildly divisive work...Ralph Ziman brings an appropriately seedy but miserably downbeat aesthetic to this long-in-development adaptation.October 06, 2014
Every exterior is foggy to diminish how far we can see... ie how far the production design could afford to make look like a rundown near future.October 09, 2014
It's impossible to get all worked up with a formulaic revenge story when the participants don't seem like they want to be here either.July 22, 2014
Worse than any Uwe Boll movie. Just terrible.October 09, 2014
Nasty for nastiness's sake, "Kite" drags to achieve its brief running time; you wonder whether the slow motion is an artistic device or a stalling tactic.October 06, 2014
Bloodthirsty young women are no longer novel enough that this watered-down revenger can expect us to pay attention without bringing something new to the table.
