Genres & Description

Action Crime Drama Mystery Thriller

4.4 / 10

Never Underestimate a Girl with Nothing to Lose. Based on the groundbreaking, cult classic anime, KITE tells the story of Sawa (India Eisley,"The Secret Life of the American Teenager," Underworld: Awakening), a young woman living in a corrupt society where crime and gangs terrorize the streets. When Sawa's mother and policeman father are found victims of a grisly double homicide, she begins a ruthless pursuit for the man who murdered them. With the help of her father's ex-partner, Karl Aker (Samuel L. Jackson, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Avengers, Django Unchained), and a mysterious friend from her past (Callan McAuliffe, The Great Gatsby, I Am Number Four), she becomes a merciless teen assassin, blasting her way through the dark world of human trafficking only to uncover a devastating truth.

There are so many pedo in the comments. This just in, even if its fake if you want to watch kid porn that makes you a pedo!!! No if and/or buts about it. Even you know they're actors if you actively look for child porn you are an adult person getting off on the idea of a child having sex = pedophile!!!! Plz die - @Friday, October 19, 2018 1:52 AM

First I saw Sawa's kill count. Then now this was made years later and Samuel Jackson is in it. I hope he's at least the redeeming quality. The trailer was kind of boring. - @Wednesday, September 19, 2018 10:08 PM

Haven't looked up the anime yet, the movie looks great... but already assuming the character played by Samuel Jackson wasn't originally black... - @Tuesday, June 12, 2018 10:09 PM

"Based on a groundbreaking Anime" You realize the word 'Anime' here refers to a 'hen with a bowtie', don't you? - @Friday, March 23, 2018 3:42 PM

Great movie underrated. India Eisley is beautiful in this movie and kicks ass. I don't see what the hate is for this film, and I love the graffiti art throughout. I felt like the director wanted to shoot that to make it seem like an old school movie. We need a 4K UHD HDR release. - @Saturday, July 8, 2017 7:14 AM

594 comments and everyone is making hentai/kiddie porn references but haven't seen the live action kite movie it seems. I just wanted a decent non critic review but I'll just watch it for myself and give my opinion for the curious. Also I watch kite (the anime) as a teen (I'm 32 now) and after watching the unedited version I didn't think it was so bad. - @Monday, January 9, 2017 8:39 PM

There is a reason why they should've left this alone and not make it into a live action. They should not be using real young girls for these scenes. The anime is fine, though. - @Friday, April 15, 2016 10:44 AM

The empowered woman hunting down men...yes..never saw that before. Apparently, movies are just vehicles for propaganda now....void of content. Token black guys, emancipated strong women who beat up 200 pound men, benevolent and intelligent homosexuals etc. And evil white men. - @Wednesday, October 7, 2015 11:28 AM
