Kate is an action film set in Osaka, Japan. Our eponymous protagonist (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is an assassin who wants to leave and have a normal life. Unfortunately she is poisoned with Plutonium-204 and now has about 24 hours to enact her revenge before succumbing to acute radiation poisoning.

Her target is the Yakuza boss who put out a hit on her and to get to him she kidnaps Ani (Miku Martineau), the boss' niece who is in danger herself. Kate ends up saving Ani's life and now that the Yakuza also want Ani dead she decides to help Kate. They form a sort of friendship as Kate continues her journey...

A lot of gun-fu action, cool Japanese urban locations and music, and not a bad of a story for an action film. Certainly better than Gunpowder Milkshake which I watched last month. That movie wanted cool location esthetics but came out a bit too surreal, whereas Kate has cool location esthetics that fit with the movie.
