Adaptations like this movie and Dragon Ball Evolution make me worry for Ghost in the Shell.

Adapted from a Japanese anime film, Kite is a provocative and action-packed thriller set in a dystopian future. After her parents are murdered by a flesh-cartel, a young woman named Sawa teams up with her father’s former police partner to get her revenge. India Eisley gives a strong performance as a femme fatale, but Samuel L. Jackson pretty much phones it in. Also, the plot is rather rote, with the stereotypical fare; gangs, shoot outs, drugs, dirty cops, etc. And, there are some storytelling issues; with the different story threats not weaving together very well. But even so, the action scenes are dark and gritty, bringing an intensity and edginess to the film. All in all, Kite is a mediocre thriller that says some interesting things about the cost of revenge.

Whilst I am not familiar with the anime this film is based on I can only assume it is better than this tripe. Genuinely bad movie with terrible acting, directing and script. Fans of the character may be very disappointed.

Pretty strange movie. If you're into very dark odd movies, then this one is for you. Samuel L. Jackson, plays his typical wanna be tough roll. India Eisley plays a very watchable Bad A$$. Definitely worth a watch, if you like watching girls kick a$$

I guess it is based on the censored version...however not being an Anime fan I really couldn't tell you what the difference between the two are, I've seen neither, but that word "censor" is probably where it started to go wrong.

"Censored" and "artistic vision" never really seem to get along well More

A good action movie with gore, violence and lots of action. First of all, it's not for everyone. It's for people who like action movies with a dark tone especially violence. Also the world is set in neo-noir style, a dark underworld and it can be disturbing for some people. So it is not for everyone More
