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.

OK, so I haven't heard a single thing about this movie prior to seeing the title. I saw the poster-> I saw the trailer-> I read the reviews and this is what I did. I went in and watched the anime. I'd say don't do it :). It's just porn that is. Or at least some substantial part of it. I got to know the characters and then went in and watched the movie.

I don't know what the other people saw, but the movie is WAYYY above 4.3. I mean it's no masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, and the budget wasn't even average probably, but come on 4.3>? I tell you this, it's better than most of this month's movies like No good deed, November man, As above so below, The giver, The Strain, Hercules, Sex Tape, TMNT etc., etc. in my opinion of course. Actually it's better than most of the stuff that came out all summer (with notable exceptions of course- Edge of tomorrow FTW!)

The adaptation is very well done, without excess nudity and sex, which I find as BIG plus. I am tired of tits, asses and Hollywood crap. Without spoiling anything, I think the movie is a solid candidate for a night with friends or if you dig dark, gritty and a bit different movies.

Solid 7 for me. At least it made me want to see what's gonna happen next, which is more than I can say for most of the productions coming out lately.
