Kite (2014) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) David Ehrlich The Dissolve 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. Rated: 1/5 Oct 13, 2014 Full Review Kite (2014) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Ziman struggles mightily to weave hot-girl assassin shtick, trendy exploitation style and future-shock grimness: The default setting seems to be whatever you've seen in a hundred other movies (and heard - the electronic score is pure digital Muzak). Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Kite (2014) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ben Kenigsberg New York Times 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. Oct 9, 2014 Full Review Kite (2014) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A compromised endeavor before it was even able to get off the ground, Kite never reaches the heights of its word-association based title. Rated: 1/5 Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Kite (2014) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com It's impossible to get all worked up with a formulaic revenge story when the participants don't seem like they want to be here either. Rated: D Oct 9, 2014 Full Review Kite (2014) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Rob Hunter Film School Rejects 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. Rated: C- Oct 6, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
