This should've never happened. If you've seen the anime already know there's no way they should've done it.

Awful. Miserable tween-femme-fatale gore. Lousy acting, lame plot/story, and poor production. Flush this crapper from your queue.

David Ehrlich

The Dissolve

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.

Rated: 1/5

Los Angeles Times

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).

New York Times

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.

A compromised endeavor before it was even able to get off the ground, Kite never reaches the heights of its word-association based title.

Rated: 1/5

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.

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.
