	Author	Review
United States	Amy Nicholson Variety	"A kooky yet predictable vengeance flick (...) The script by Umair Aleem is little more than a framework for the only two elements that matter: the fight choreography and the wavelength of the star"	NEU
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"Kate wears its influences like borrowed clothes, never quite managing to develop a style or voice that feels wholly its own."	NEG
United States	IGN	"Kate could have been the next Atomic Blonde, but instead majorly falls short with its lack of originality and unfortunate Asian tropes."	NEU
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"With its breathtaking action, bracing visual style, and dark wit, Netflix’s Kate will make for a killer double feature with Gunpowder Milkshake (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"Thanks to the excellent lead performance from Mary Elizabeth Winstead (...) it’s another product designed in the Netflix lab."	NEU
United States	Charles Bramesco AV Club	"It’s not a good sign that almost everything in the film seems to have come from somewhere else (...) should aspire to be more than a delivery system for a few solid shootouts"	NEG
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"An easily digestible blend of violence, action, and humor by way of a silly plot that ticks off all the action-thriller tropes at breakneck speed (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"There’s nothing particularly inventive about [it], but there’s also nothing particularly heinous in its execution (...) Here’s hoping that this level of basic competency can be matched with a bit more personality in the future (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Mel Valentin Screen Anarchy	"Unfortunately, the film built around Winstead, as talented a performer as anyone in her age range (and beyond), rarely rises above time-wasting background fodder"	NEG
