Rating: C- -- Every exterior is foggy to diminish how far we can see... ie how far the production design could afford to make look like a rundown near future. Full Review

Rating: 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. Full Review

In a film that pits the heroine directly against the sexualization of young women, the camera's gaze itself feels awfully exploitative. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Ziman pretends to be empowering his young heroine by putting a gun in her hand and tough words in her mouth. But there's something deeply discomforting about his camera's fetishistic leering. Full Review

Rating: 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. Full Review

Dabbling in the same fetish-feminism and coldly-served revenge fantasies that made Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch such a wildly divisive work...Ralph Ziman brings an appropriately seedy but miserably downbeat aesthetic to this long-in-development adaptation. Full Review

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. Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- A kill-a-minute gore-a-thon whose twist is so obvious your grandma Edna will see it coming, "Kite" never gets off the ground. Full Review
