Kite : Brutal and Controversial Revenge Action.

The film Kite (2014) is a live-action adaptation of the 1998 cult classic Japanese anime by Yasuomi Umetsu. Directed by Ralph Ziman and starring India Eisley, Samuel L. Jackson, and Callan McAuliffe, the film presents neo-noir action that is extremely harsh, bloody, and full of scenes of extreme violence.

 

Brief Synopsis

Sawa (India Eisley), a teenage girl whose parents were brutally murdered, now lives as an assassin under the control of a corrupt police officer named Karl Aker (Samuel L. Jackson). With her memories slowly returning and after meeting her childhood friend, Oburi (Callan McAuliffe), Sawa decides to seek revenge on the entire criminal network that destroyed her life—in a very sadistic way.

 

What Makes This Film Stand Out:

• Dark visuals and an atmosphere of a grimy, neon-filled dystopian city.

• Intense action choreography, especially the use of the "kite" (an explosive wire weapon characteristic of the original anime).

• India Eisley successfully portrays a character who is both fragile and deadly—a performance often referred to as her "breakout role."

• Samuel L. Jackson, as usual, appears charismatic even though his character is very gray.

 

Controversy

The original anime version is famous for containing elements of lolicon and very heavy explicit scenes. The 2014 live-action version was heavily cut (a longer uncut version is available in some countries), but it still received a hard R rating and drew criticism for violence against teenage characters and exploitative themes that still feel disturbing to some viewers.

 

Conclusion

Kite (2014) is not a film for everyone. If you enjoy revenge action styled like Kill Bill meets Oldboy with a touch of dark 90s anime, this film is quite entertaining and visually striking. But if you are sensitive to graphic violence or heavy themes, it's better to skip it.

 

Duration: 90 minutes | IMDb Rating: 4.4/10 (though often sought after by fans of the cult genre)

 

Available on several VOD platforms (depending on the region); the uncut version is usually harder to find legally.

 

In short: brutal, stylish, and controversial—a modern B-movie classic with the aroma of cult anime.
