Kate 6.5/10
The story scores a 4, it's not original nor that interesting, it pretty much filter for the action set pieces. The action scenes is where it shines, well shot and hard hitting. The fight 27 minutes in caught me off guard by its realism and ferocity.

Mortal Engines - 6/10
Odd film, but enough to keep me engaged in it. Clearly must have cut a lot from the book as there seemed to be hints of a bit of deeper story.

it's about time i crossed this off my list.
I thought I'd give this a go but was put off by poor reviews. Are the action/fight scenes up there with Atomic Blonde or John Wick?
Which did you pick? Was going to see Schang Chi at the cinema but theres something about the trailers that just arent grabbing me so im holding off.
I ended up watching Malignant and while it was enjoyable and quite the spectacle to look at, it was a bit far for my horror liking!
Better than I expected though..

Make sure there's no dust in your room.
I haven't seen Atomic Blonde, everything about it says awful.
This film definitely isn't John Wick level, not as polished or technical. But still worth a watch.

I really enjoyed Kate, just saw it this afternoon. The Japanese setting automatically gets an extra point from me.
I'm planning to watch this after dinner. While not expecting John Wick, I'm definitely still looking forward to it!
Well you should! It's up there with John Wick imo. There's one fight scene half way through that is possibly the best laid to film. Theron is a beast.
I was actually confusing Atomic Blonde with Jolt. The penny only dropped when you mentioned Charlize Theron.

Jolt was really bad, everything about it was forgettable and I love Kate Beckingsale normally.
Atomic Blonde was good, if John Wick is a 10 then Atomic Blonde is a good stab at about 8.
I would say Kate is near there but I prefer it more due to its Japanese aspect of it. It’s not perfect but Elizabeth Windstead’s acting is good, I even thought that girl is quite good too, just on the right side of annoying.
Although…I must say I saw the twist coming about 15mins in.

I'd say JW is a 9 and AB a 8.5... No scrap that a 9 too. Just for that stairwell fight.
Watched Kate last night. It was... Ok. Maybe a 6? The fight sequences I thought were fairly dull I'm afraid, I was expecting more.

I am not ranking John Wick as a 10 in the pantheon of movies, i am saying IF John Wick is a 10 within this small selection of JW, AB, Jolt and Kate. Thus setting the ceiling.
Must watch that some time soon, been quite a few years.
I ended up watching this in the late/early hours and really enjoyed the setting. I was hoping for a deeper "revenge" aspect to the overall story, but what it delivered was good enough to keep me glued throughout..
