David Ehrlich The Dissolve 10/13/2014
1/5
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. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 10/10/2014
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).

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. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 09/06/2019
1/5
A compromised endeavor before it was even able to get off the ground, Kite never reaches the heights of its word-association based title. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 10/09/2014

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cristian S @cristiansj 2d Kite tiene un potencial enorme, una gran trama, buenos giros, buen ritmo, buenos efectos y personajes complejos encabezados con una protagonista que da (estética y narrativamente) icono del cine de accion. En lo único que falla es justamente en esto ultimo, las pocas escenas de accion se dividen casi mitad y mitad entre buenas peleas o escenas todas movidas que parecen de hace 40 años mínimo. Igual esto no arruina para nada el espectáculo pero me podría haber gustado mas. See more Erna H Aug 18 Wow truly an amazing movie. In the beginning I was a bit weary of it but once it was completely over it finished sensationally. Raw emotions- great animation- excellent plot. See more Bruce M @BruceMc Aug 11 Pretty bad: wealth script, bad performances, inept direction, looks cheaply made. The 0% critics' rating is spot on. The anime is quite good, however. See more Greg H @Osevon 11/17/2024 See it all before, without any originality and some poor fight choreography and worse accents See more 02/14/2021 Kite 14.2.21 3.5/0. Happy Vallie's day ❤ Well, I watched it, just so i could say "I watched it". D.B. See more 11/25/2020 one of the worst films, the violent scenes are of terrible quality, he is horrendous and terrible, he is not a good film, he is weak in action and weak also in Thriller See more Read all reviews
