Kite is a film which is quite gory and violent for the sake of shock value but it adds very little. The story of this film has been done many times before and has been done better. Nothing is new here and the plot feels rushed. Lack of overall interest. Lack of suspense and thrills. And lack of intriguing characters.
By the time the predictable twist arrives in the end, we don't exactly care. Samuel L. Jackson must have done this film as a favor to the director (originally was directed by David R. Ellis who passed away prior to completing the film- directed Jackson in Snakes on a Plane. So there's a connection there).
Overall this film isn't worthwhile, and those top 7/8 star reviews are not believable. Kite is simply a mess of a film (whether you are familiar with the anime source material or not), and would be best to avoid.
