My favorite movie of 2021 so far
Today I want to fill you in on a new movie. A few weeks ago a movie called Kate (starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead) was released on Netflix. This film slipped under the radar for me at first, but I eventually discovered it on my Netflix feed. I was first intrigued by the poster for the film. It was colorful, had a car on it, and I saw some Japanese imagery with Woody Harrelson.
Little did I know, this movie was even more perfect for me than I imagined. Once actually watching the film in its entirety, I realized that it was a blend of many of my favorite things.
It was a similar plot to one of my all-time favorite films Crank with Jason Statham. The main difference was that the protagonist was a female instead of a male. Then we can also add in the fact that it was based in Osaka, Japan. It was set during modern times, but I couldn't help but feel similarities to Cyberpunk 2077. Woody Harrelson's character was named V, just like the main character in Cyberpunk 2077. Plus some of the tuner cars were oddly reminiscent of the styling of many of the vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077.
This film is action-packed and enjoyable the entire way through. Watch my video to hear more about what I thought about the movie.
You can also see the trailer below and a link to read more about the film on IMDB.

It was alright to me. Kind of predictable plot to me though.
Loved that it was setup in Japan and they threw in a bunch of cultural stuff there. As an anime fan, I love seeing shit like that.
Fight scenes were pretty sick too and I also love that they didn't do that BS thing we're the hero has super strength, despite being poisoned by a radio active chemical.
The plot was predictable, but it was the kind of plot I like to see unfold.
The Japanese setting was my ideal location. All that neon was so cool and then when they showed the geishas at one point.
The main girl really got fucked up, but she did manage to make it longer than I expected.
They needed to kill the bad guy, so she had to be alive for that. I thought she would have died when she met the head of the family at that their family house then set like a chain of events that leads to the the main villain getting whacked.
Then again, they also had to show that the whole betrayal thing.
Hello... hey I did not have much faith in this movie and the participation of the beautiful (Elizabeth Winstead) did not give me a good sign and it is not that she is a bad actress or something like that is that the truth is that she has not had good appearances in action movies and the last thing I saw of her in a movie of this style was in Birds of Prey where she did not have much impact and well it is also because she was not the protagonist and that may influence a little, but beforehand I did not have much faith in her.
The same happens with the Netflix platform that lately is premieres are a waste of time, but to my surprise here things do look very interesting and a couple of hours ago I was able to enjoy this movie that has a little bit of everything and I do not want to compare but it has the aroma of movies like Kill Bill, Lucy this last one that I am going to name maybe it is not the same pro style for being set in Japan and I do not know if it is also an anime like the famous Ghost in the Shell that I am clear are two totally different movies and separates them a world, but it has that futuristic style and with a lot of color that makes that at a visual level is a pleasure, the action is brutal, has a lot of blood and wow that the sequences where the camera makes open and closed shots is brutal without a doubt of the best that Netflix has at this moment.
Cheers!
I understand why you may have no expected this movie to be very good. I didn’t have very high hopes for it either. Turns out it was really fantastic.
Netflix has had many big releases that were vastly underwhelming. Thankfully Kate stands out as a notable feature. You make great comparisons to other adaptions.
You summed it up right here. These are the main reasons I loved this movie so much.
Definitely a movie worth watching more than once!
When the rhythm is frenetic, it reminds us of the film Crank. I like action movies with strong women fighting against villains, I really enjoyed the violent scenes, the deaths, good film.
Not many complaints from Kate, it was exactly what I have been needing to watch.
Another great action film is Shoot Em’ Up. Will never forget that fast-paced, baby holding, carrot eating action flick.
Lol... This is it. A Hit! Wow,!
Tbe trailer you attached to your post me into this and I'm pretty sure that this would be a good one to have in my watchlist.
The fight scenes seems to be the highlight of the movie. Not bad at all. Not bad
This movie came to my attention seemingly out of nowhere. It's so freaking awesome too. One of the best action movies I've seen in awhile. It's one of those films that doesn't seem like it'd be possible to have a sequel for. However, they could easily focus on the little girl in the movie. That or do something insane to bring Kate back as Crank did with Crank 2: High Voltage.
It's been a while since I watched movies. I've been soaking myself with tv shows and Asian Drama. Haha.
But this?
No way! I can't miss that.
Thanks for the nice breakdown of the post
This movie is worth switching up your routine for.
Looks like you have a new profile here.
Few things to know about...
Don't upvote comments yet, since you have little Hive Power right now. That will drain all of your resource credits and then you won't be able to comment. Wait until you have more HP and upvote comments with a smaller percentage than 100%, I usually do under 10% unless it's a really great comment. Your choice though.
Also, be sure to make an introduction post and include the hashtag #introduceyourself. You can even post a video if you'd like, I recommend 3Speak.
Let me know if you have any questions, I am full of answers.
Also, I just delegated some HP to you so that you won't have any issues transacting with your new profile. Congrats on signing up! Welcome.
Woww... Thanks Alot for this.
I'm already getting a warm welcome on Hive.
I will take note of all this and subsequently put it into pratice.
This account is meant for video making I want to learn everything about it starting from how to be confident in front of a Camera. I'm ready to take any height of evaluation that will come my way as far as it helps me to get better.
Sorry, I can't make an introductory post at the moment because I'm not staying in a decent place for video making, but I will get that uploaded in 14 days or less. That's long. Haha.
But, I will try to learn as many theoretical stuff as possible while I wait for the perfect time to set up a mini video making space. And then, I will drop an intro.
Thanks Alot. I really appreciate the support and guideline.
My best advice.. pretend the camera is just a mirror. You are talking to a version of yourself. Don't ever be camera shy my friend.
It is never too late to make an introduction post. I’ll be sure to check it out once you are finally able to post it.
Okay... This will work. It has to work.
Thanks for the tip. I will try to learn as much as I can and I assure you that I won't delay my posting.
Once I relocate to my apartment, I will Kickstart everything.
Thanks Alot
I loved this movie too! I liked how it showed how much you can do in one night if you really wanted it.
Seriously, so many things happened within such a short duration of time. True determination. Revenge will spark the most fiery of flames.
I wish Kate would be my best friend. I would let her braid my hair...with her guns.
Doesn’t seem like Kate is good at making friends. That is unless you find a way to wiggle your way in.
I'm pretty sure I can find a way to make myself useful. I've got lots of tricks up my sleeve. Every badass revenge girl needs a good psychic. And I happen to be one. I could tell who is coming around the next corner and what to watch out for. I'm also not bad at guitar. And I make a mean pot roast. She probably needs a lulabye at night, and a home cooked meal. That's three whole entire things. She won't know what hit her.
You sound like a very useful comrade to have, especially for a brutal adventure like this one. Kate would be honored to have such an ally.
Oh, don't even get me started. I've got all KINDS of mad friendship skilz. You have no idea.
I've been meaning to watch this one. The trailer makes it look crazy.
Bro it’s nuts, go for it ASAP. So worth an hour and fourth five minutes of your time.
nice thumbnail, by the way, Explains the movie very well
Would you believe me if I told you that I designed the thumbnail for this one entirely on my iPhone. Normally I use my desktop, but I was mobile while setting this one up.
which application did you use?. I thought it was done in photoshop. Now that you mention it I started pixel peeping.
These two:
https://www.pixiteapps.com/union
https://phon.to/download
I thought it was the PicsArt app. I used it before I started using photoshop.
Photoshop is more robust, but those two apps I linked work well when you’re in a bind and not home.
I think the Union app is exclusive for IOS. So, I need to wait for it to appear in Playstore for trying it. the screenshots in their websites seem like the app is very simple to use compared to picsart
I won't lie I came cause I was intrigued by @makeitrain4ever person...I noticed that you deligated some hive to him...but now I just want to watch this movie...
I was a teenager when I watched crank and I liked it even though I don't remember all the details...it'll be the first movie I'll watch after Paradise PD...

Crank is an unforgettable film. Wish they’d release a Crank 3.
You are doing a fine job...I want to grow my account too and you seem like a good example to follow
That'll be awesome I'd have to go back and watch the old crank movies if they did.
I'm preparing for the new martix...what do you think about it?
I haven’t been growing my account for nearly 4 years just for myself 🤑 I like the idea of assisting others with the climb.
Crank is timeless.
New Matrix looks amazing. Can’t wait for it. I think it’ll get a lot of younger people who never watched the old Matrix films (such as my girlfriend) to go back and see the original trilogy. Maybe they’ll even begin their own awakenings.
Lol...right? Its set to be very dope.
Have a nice day...hope to see more of your posts
You too bro.
Hahah... Starting from the very beginning on places like this isn't an easy thing to do.
I've started with one leg and I won't be posting till next month. Let's say, two 20 days from now. Hopefully, it will take lesser duration.
Have a blast and use one of those to enjoy the weekend
I have a while without opening my Netflix account, so I didn't know about this movie that from what you describe and what I just saw in the trailer, I love it. Mary Elizabeth I love as an actress, so I have good expectations about this movie. I just added it to my list, hope to see it on the weekend. Thanks for sharing it!
I only use Netflix on weekends, it’s a great way to relax when spending time with my gf.
Kate is 100% a must watch. Be sure to let me know just how much you loved this film once you are able to complete a full viewing of it.
That intersting actually I don't like the bollywood movies/Indian movies but there is some hindi webseries aswell English also that I love to watch.....there is webseries named mirzapur...one of my favourite indian webseries...the show is talking all about crimes and all at a particular city...I love the story line and especially the blood visuals....I watch lot of Hollywood's....I love those movies because of there cinematics....hehehee...
I’m glad you have things to watch that you enjoy. Hollywood puts out some pretty amazing cinematics, but there is also a fair share of garbage.
where...
Hollywood puts out bad movies sometimes.
Hmm that's true I agree with you 😅😅
